  1. Just have to say a public Congrats to Briard CH Celebratia Vintageeightyfour "Cognac" for getting a Group 1. He was bred my dear friends of mine, and I played with Cognac and his beautiful sister Miele when they were pups!

  3. Thanks for pointing out. That's what I get for taking a vicodine (I have a toothache)before doing my rankings. I hope that's the only error I made. lol

  4. The Ibizan Hound got the Group 1 because the CA judge knows she is being retired. It was merely a sympathy win. She did not deserve that win, not with the other fantastic moving dogs in the hound ring. Ah well, that is a dog show for you! Politics prevails.
