GCH CH Camelot's Red Hot Tamale
Savy exhibitors knew that there were far more points in
Albany OR this week than in Chicago or San Diego. The seven dogs trying to get first dibbs on the points at Thursday’s
Linn County Kennel Club show were the Golden Retriever, GCH CH Shadowland's
Paws For Applause At Tristar, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, GCH CH Camelot's Red Hot
Tamale, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Tiburon Arsenal, the American
Staffordshire Terrier, GCH CH Alpine’s Ring Of Fire, the Pug, GCH CH Prima
Lucca Wishing on A Shoboat Tu, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Brighton Lakeridge
Encore, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Mariel’s Harvest Moon.
GCH CH Alpine’s Ring Of Fire
Getting the big rosette and the big points was the Ridgeback,
Molly. Getting the Reserve photo op was
the AmStaff, Phoenix. It’s Molly’s first
all breed BIS. Congratulations to
breeder/owner Clayton Heathcock, owner Cheri Hadley, and handler David Bueno.
GCH CH Sky Acres Flying Solo
Linda Robey was in the final ring for the LCKC’s day two
show. She saw the German Shorthaired
Pointer, CH Kempfers Diddy Dirty Money, the Rhodesian, Molly, the Standard
Schnauzer, CH Chateau Palos Treaty of Goarhein, the AmStaff, Phoenix, the
Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Brackley My Amazing Warrior, the Keeshond, GCH CH Summerwind's
Rumor Has It, and the Belgian Tervuren, GCH CH Sky Acres Flying Solo.
Collecting all those points was the Tervuren, Solo, while
the AmStaff, Phoenix, got his second consecutive RBIS (and the fewest points of
any of the final seven. Where’s the
fairness in that?) It’s the third BIS
for Solo and her first this year. Solo
was the Number One Belgian Tervuren in
2011 and 2012, and is the only Tervuren bitch to ever hold the Number One spot
in the breed. Congratulations to
breeder/owner/handler Michelle Edling.
GCH CH Brighton Lakeridge Encore
The Mckenzie Cascade Dog Fanciers took over on Sunday and
chose Jon Cole to handle their day one final.

Poodle, the Smooth Dachshund, GCH CH Spellbound's You Go First, the Bernese
Mountain Dog, CH Sendache's Moving Heaven And Earth At Tristar RN, and the

His Best In Show were the Poodle, Ally, and the Tervuren,
Solo. It’s Ally’s 91st career
BIS and her third this year.
GCH CH Brackley My Amazing Warrior
The MCDF closed the set and the show week with Darryl Vice
in the final ring with the now familiar Ridgeback, MinPin, & Tervuren, the
Sussex Spaniel, CH Chatapa Jason and the Argonauts, the Standard Schnauzer, GCH
CH Steinhaus Maxim Courage RN, the Soft Coated Wheaten, GCH CH Doubloon’s
Extreme Play, the Dalmatian, Merry Go Round Express.
GCH CH Steinhaus Maxim Courage RN
Taking home the last of the points was the MinPin, Paxton,
while the Schnauzer, Max, packed up the RBIS.
It’s the first all breed BIS for the 2012 Miniature Pinscher Club of America’s
National Specialty winner. Congratulations to breeder Wendy Boyette and
owners Keri & Danie Haney.
That poodle looks like something out a cartoon, though it's gorgeous. Max the Schnauzer sort of looks like my Uncle Pete. I have a Welsch Spring spaniel, Isabel, at the moment. She was a gift and apparently her parents were show dogs. I'm not so entrenched in the show circuit, though I follow it loosely. Lind Robey sort of resembles her dog, though I hear this is not uncommon among dog owners. At the very least, I keep Isabel healthy and shiny with homemade dog food and treats, and routine vet checkups, and trupanion pet insurance. I've often wondered what insurance the owners of show dogs have for their pets and what health regimens they follow.
