Our Monday Morning Mop Up begins in Puyallup WA with Sunday’s Sammamish Kennel Club show, the second of three big shows there this weekend.  With an entry of almost 2300 dogs, this was the week’s biggest prize.

The seven dogs hoping to capture those points were the Clumber Spaniel, GCH CH Clussexx Collaboration With Traddles, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH M&M's Fear The Beard, the CH Parisans Stingray of Riverridge, the Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky, the Chinese Crested, GCH CH Dejavu I Want'a Talk About Me, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Brighton Lakeridge Encore, and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Coventry Allure At Wyndstar.

It was the Washington resident, the Standard Poodle, Ally, who took home all those points.  DR Jose Luis Payo’s Reserve winner was the Wire Fox, Sky.  Ally and handler Tim Brazier finished 2012 as the Number 14 Dog All Breeds with 23 BIS and 66 Non-Sporting Groups.  Sunday’s win will put Ally in a gang of four chasing the Number One Dog, the Wire Sky.  Don’t forget, we have one more show today in Puyallup and two more in Ocala FL before we take a break.
