Time for Monday Morning Mop Up.   We will start in Gray Summit MO where the Mississippi Valley Kennel Club and the Missouri Rhineland Kennel Club have combined for four all breed shows.  You can read about Friday’s MVKC opener here. 

On Saturday Gene Blake took to the final ring to assess the Clumber Spaniel, GCH CH Nexus Dark Horse, the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Thaon’s Mowgli, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Chancellor High Flyin Gladiator, the Parson Russell Terrier, Fox Valley Twist N Shout, the Blenheim & Prince Charles English Toy Spaniel, GCH CH Loujons Back Road To Parris, the Bichon Frise, GCH CH Saks Hamelot Little Drummer Boy, and the German Shepherd Dog, GCH CH Bandheim’s Captain Crunch.

He went with the Afghan Hound, Mowgli.  Mowgli has been a regular in the BIS ring these past three years.  He finished 2010 with five all breed Bests and 19 Hound Groups.  This is his first BIS this year.  Congratulations to breeders/owners Jay T Hafford & James Blanchard and owners Debbie Rogers & Ann Sterner.
