TOP THREE FACE OFF IN WI

Before we return to this week’s results, let’s tell you about the Burlington Wisconsin Kennel Club’s Monday & Tuesday shows in Elkhorn WI.  The atypical scheduling and the lack of an AKC representative meant that one of the more dramatic face offs this year went largely under reported. 

Among the participants were our Top Three Dogs All Breeds, the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter, the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova, & the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici.  All three came to Elkhorn with BACK2BACK BIS earlier in the week.  The GWP, Oakley, got the consecutive wins on Thursday & Friday in Bloomsburg PA, the Springer, Peyton, picked up almost 4000 points for his two wins on Friday & Saturday in Greenville SC, and the Doberman, FiFi took both of the big rosettes on Saturday & Sunday in Waukesha WI.

GCH CH Babheim’s Captain Crunch

The Reserve would go to the Schnauzer, Justin, while Peyton would finish the set with his 29th BIS of the year (You do remember that he picked up number 30 yesterday in Salem VA?).    Our Top Three would move on still holding their respective places, but things are a little tighter this week.  For the latest on the numbers check back with us later today.

CANFIELD OH DAY ONE OF FOUR

GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici  

Tim Catterson was in the final ring with the seven dogs that prevailed over the 1500 dog entry at today’s Fort Steuben Kennel Association show in Canfield OH.  They were the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter Silver Charm, the Whippet, GCH CH Sporting Fields Bahama Sands, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici, the West Highland White Terrier, GCH CH Skyehigh's MKC Bonaparte, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Jaset’s Satisfaction, and the German Shepherd Dog, GCH CH Wolf Creek Galaxy Of Merivern.
