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.
