MONDAY MORNING MOP UP



GCH CH Topsfield-Sanchu Eenie Miney Moe 

With 40 all breed shows to cover in our Monday Morning Mop Up is an ambitious undertaking.  Let’s start in Columbus OH where several of our top dogs gathered, including the Number One Dog All Breeds, the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter Silver Charm.  Oakley and handler Phil Booth would end the four day stint with two Bests In Show, and two Reserve Best In Shows
