GOOD THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES

GCH CH Scylla Small Kraft Re-Lit

The Tupelo Kennel Club   in Verona MS this weekend proved our belief that even small venue shows draw the most beautiful AKC dogs.  2012’s Number  three Toy Dog, the Maltese, GCH CH Scylla Small Kraft Re-Lit, was Thomas Kilcullen’s Best In Show on Saturday.

Hank finished 2012 with 12 BIS and 55 Toy Groups.  Saturday’s win was Hank’s first BIS of 2013 in five final appearances.  Congratulations to Tara, co-breeder Vicki Abbot, and owners Debbie Burke & Ron Scott.
