BIG WIN 4 A BIG DOG

We usually have to wait on mid Atlantic results, but we have the outcome of today’s Talbot Kennel Club show in Easton MD.

Kenneth Falconi’s finalists were the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, CH Firesides Spontaneous Combustion, the Irish Wolfhound, CH Dun Myrica Speaker Of Eagle, the Rottweiler, CH Blackrocks Kazanova, the Airedale Terrier, CH Stirling Cool Hand Luke, the Italian Greyhound, CH Honore’s Lily-Belle, the Miniature Poodle, CH Splash Di Caprio, and the Australian Shpherd, CH Mysharas Dream Girl.
