Day one’s Top Two were the Boxer, Margee, and the Harrier, Chet.  It was the fourth BIS this year in limited showing for Margee and handler Kimberly Pastella-Calvacca

The Harrier, Chet, would own the next two days taking both the big rosettes at the CVKC & the CNYKC.  At Saturday’s CVKC BIS judge Alberto Berrios would like Chet more than the returning IWS, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Holly Woods Cat Woman, the above named Lakeland, the RBIS,  the Pekingese, GCH CH Yakee Easily Persuaded, the Miniature Poodle, GCH CH Surrey Sugar Baby, or the Puli, GCH CH Fuzzy Farm Twist and Shout.

Sunday Terry Berrios would choose the same two out of a seven that included the previously seen IWS, Doberman, Lakeland, the Miniature Poodle, and Puli.  Chet and handler Suzy Olivera finish a five show, three state, two time zones week with three BIS and two RBIS.  The Number Two Hound now has 21 BIS and leads the Hound Group with a remarkable 90 Group Ones.
