RARE TOY MANCHESTER BIS

GCH CH Cottage Lakes Our Lady Of Fatima 

We don’t get to report a BIS by a Toy Manchester Terrier often and we can’t remember the last time we saw back2back BIS by a Toy Manchester. So we are delighted to tell you that the Toy Manchester Terrier, GCH CH Cottage Lakes Our Lady Of Fatima, took the top awards at the Forsyth Kennel Club’s Saturday and Sunday shows in Winston-Salem NC. 

GCH CH Foxwood’s Dublin Diva 

Saturday judge Arlene Benko would choose Lucia out of a seven that included her RBIS, the English Cocker Spaniel, GCH CH Foxwood’s Dublin Diva, the American Foxhound, GCH CH Crossroads Full Throttle, the Boxer, CH Vixayos Golden Hammer, the Russell Terrier, GCH CH Goldsand’s Billie Jean CA, the Boston Terrier, GCH CH Katbird’s Evolution Matters At Kayas, and the Puli, GCH CH Cordmaker Topsy Turvey.

Sunday Lucia would impress judge Pat Mowbray-Morgan more than did her RBIS, the returning Puli, Charlotte, who impressed her more than did the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Legacy Random Titleist, the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Tells Matrix Reloaded, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Avatar Cosmac Storm, the American Staffordshire Terrier, GCH CH Angarda Deja Vu Looking At You, and the Xoloitzcuintli, GCH CH Bayshore Giorgio Armani. The two wins were the first for Fatima in ten final appearances this year and the first by a Toy Manchester in the last two years. Congratulations to breeder/owner/handler Marcelo Chagas and breeder/owner Dr Robert Travis.
