RIO GRANDE KENNEL CLUB

GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Super Nova  

We once heard Albuquerque NM described  as a “dog show desert”.  However, this week New Mexico fanciers can treat themselves to four days of dog shows.  The fun began on Saturday and will continue through tomorrow.  

The Rio Grande Kennel Club had the duty for the first two days, putting Keke Kahn in their first final with the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Super Nova,  the Rhodesian Ridgeback, GCH CH Kimani's Time Honored, the Mastiff, CH Lexington Divine's Put Me In Coach, the Bedlington Terrier, CH Elante Matinee Idol, the Toy Poodle, GCH CH Smash JP Winning Ribbon, the Chinese Shar-Pei, GCH CH Vaje's Jethrene Bodine, and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Milkywey's How Do You Like Me Now?    

Claiming day one was the Springer, Peyton.  Peyton, the Number Four Dog All Breeds, now has six all breed Bests this year.  

Monica Canestrini had the day two final and her choice of the Springer, Peyton, the Harrier, GCH CH Downhome Hitech Innovator, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Chancellor High Flyin' Gladiator, the same Bedlington, the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Brackley My Amazing Warrior, the above named Shar-Pei, Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Rocheuses Me And My Shadow of Cornus.   

Her Best was the Shar-Pei, Jethrene.  It’s the first BIS in 12 final appearances for Jethrene and handler Clint Livingston.  Congratulations to Clint, breeders/owners Jeff & Vicki Mauk, and owners Todd & Sabrina Paddock.  With 12 final appearances, surely someone has snapped a photo?
