ATLANTIC OCEAN CLASSIC OPENER

GCH CH Pequest General Tso 

They say that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. We don’t know about that, but we do know that show dogs and AKC exhibitors will brave any conditions to attend a five day cluster. Fanciers ignored a blizzard forecast to open this week’s Atlantic Ocean Classic at the Wildwood NJ Convention Center. Happily the weather promises to be cold, but clear for the remainder of the week. 

GCH CH Classical’s My Turn 

Judge Marjorie Tuff had the final at Wednesday’s Union County Kennel Club show and her pick of the Pointer, GCH CH Hipoint Here Comes The Sun, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, GCH CH Icecream v Tum-Tum’s Vriendjes, the Mastiff, GCH CH Pioneer’s Shabri-Els Shaken Bacon, the Colored Bull Terrier, GCH CH Notorious Never Say Never, the Pekingese, GCH CH Pequest General Tso, the Dalmatian, GCH CH Spotted Bliss Oreo Delight, and the Bearded Collie, GCH CH Classical’s My Turn. 

Her Best was the Peke, General Tso, and her Reserve, the Beardie, Turner. It was the first of the year for The General who completed 2014 as the Number One Pekingese with six BIS and 33 Toy Groups.  Congratulations to breeder/owner/handler David Fitzpatrick and owner Nancy Shapland.
