AKC/EUKANUBA CHAMPION IS

GCH CH Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie

The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship continues to be our favorite dog show of the year.  It is a nail biting gauntlet of a week’s shows, with many surprises along the way.  Tonight we saw the country’s Number One Terrier, the Skye Terrier, GCH CH Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie, take the top prize at the nation’s biggest dog show.
