We don’t get to report a Best In Show by a Cairn Terrier very often, so we are delighted to tell you that GCH CH Angus Glen-Ayr’s Stevie Wonder was judge Carolyn Herbel’s BIS at the Columbus Kennel Club show on May 7th in Perry GA.

Joining Stevie in the final were the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Cerise Blindside, the Greyhound, GCH CH GrandCru Giaconda, the Black Russian Terrier, GCH CH Russian Bear’s Not Just Another Rock Starr, the RBIS, the Shih Tzu, GCH CH Hallmark Jolei Rocket Power, the Standard Poodle, Kaylen’s Strike a Pose, and the German Shepherd Dog, CH Signature’s Abby Scuito.

It was the first for Stevie and the first BIS by Cairn this year.   Congratulations to breeders Drew & Ann Angus, owner Roberta Perry, and handler Armando Morales.  We hope to have a photo for you soon.
