SATURDAY & SUNDAY IN ALABAMA

GCH CH Ashdown’s Time to Thrill 

When we last checked in on Columbiana AL, we told you that the Black Cocker Spaniel, GCH CH Ashdown’s Time to Thrill, picked up his second consecutive BIS at Friday’s Birmingham Kennel Club show. Alan and handler Linda Pitts would do it again at Saturday’s Tuscaloosa Kennel Club under judge Charles Olvis.
