Luiz Silva had the final ring at today’s Dog Fanciers of Oregon show.  Four of his seven candidates were among last year’s top winners while three were relative newcomers.  They were the Clumber Spaniel, GCH CH Clussexx Collaboration with Traddles, the Harrier, GCH CH Downhome Hitech Innovators, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Tiduron Arsenal, the Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky, the Toy Poodle, GCH CH Sharbelle Greg-Mar International Boy. The Standard Poodle, GCH CH Brighton Lakeridge Encore, and the Shetland Sheepdog, CH PaRay Preferential.

Judge Silva chose one of each, the Clumber, Simon, finished 2012 with seven BIS and 31 Sporting Groups and today received the Reserve ribbon.   Best In Show went to a first timer, the two year old Sheltie, Satoshi.  Satoshi was piloted to his first all breed win by breeder/owner Tray Pittman.  Congratulations to Tray and co-breeder/owner Paul Flores, and owner Kim Furlong.

    1. That's possible. She wasn't listed as an owner in the catalog, but we will verify with Tray today.
