SAIDE CLOSES OUT PORTLAND
CH Roundtown Mercedes Of MaryscotWe have a report from the ubiquitous Anonymous that the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, has closed out the final day of the Tualatin KC show in Portland OR with her first BIS this year. Anonymous also cryptically tells us that the usual suspects, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche, the Miniature Pinscher, CH Kimro's Soldier Boy, the Standard Poodle, CH Randenn Tristar Affirmation, and the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Voodoo Slam Dunks Susant’s, were joined by a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Portugese Water Dog in the final. We have an idea who the latter is, but no idea who the former is. How about you?

RUSSELL CROWE FOR CEEJAY?
We can now tell you that the Giant Schnauzer, CH Galilee's Pure Of Spirit was absent today at the Tualatin KC show in Portland OR, opening it up for seven very good dogs to take a shot at the BIS title at one of the country’s biggest events.
CH Rokeena Carte Blanche
Competing for Judge Betty Regina Leininger’s attention were the ASCOB Cocker Spaniel, Quasar's N Sherwood's Odd Couple, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche, the Alaskan Malamute, CH Catanya's Latin Lover, the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, the Miniature Pinscher, CH Kimro's Soldier Boy, the Standard Poodle, CH Randenn Tristar Affirmation, and the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Voodoo Slam Dunks Susant’s. It was the PBGV, CeeJay, picking up his third BIS this year. Here‘s a thought. Let’s send Russell Crowe back to Australia and keep this splendid little dog here.

MORE BIS

Congratulations to breeder Santiango Pinto, owners Bruce Schwartz & Larisa Hotchin, and handler Wood Wornall. We understand that this is the eighth BIS winning Welsh that Wood Wornall has handled for Bruce and Lil Schwartz.

WORDS FAIL ME
We have always considered ourselves good with the written word. We rarely consult a thesaurus or a dictionary, as evidenced by our frequent misspellings. However, the Pointer, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry, is beginning to strain our ability to come up with yet a new superlative.
CH Fleet St Fenway Fan
Once again the Pointer, Holly, and handler Michael Scott, have accepted another Best In Show trophy, the latest coming from Judge Whitney Coombs at the Annapolis Kennel Club in West Friendship MD, pushing the number of BIS in a row to a perfect ten. Some might try to marginalize this accomplishment by dismissing the competition. However, Holly‘s fellow finalists included the 2008 best Pekingese, CH Pequest Match Point, the latest multiple BIS winning Standard Poodle from Joseph Vergnetti, CH Hillwood Dassin De Lovely, as well as the Irish Terrier, CH Fleet St Fenway Fan, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Monkham's Famous Grouse, the Rottweiler, CH Ecko Ridges American Justice VVonWilhelms, and the Bearded Collie, CH Tolkien Raintree Mister Baggins.
We know this winning streak will eventually end, but you have to admit, it’s a pretty fun way to start the year.

EVERYTHING'S NEW AGAIN
The Florida Classic continues to be anybody’s game. After nine shows, we are still seeing dogs make their first appearance in the final seven. Today at the Pasco FL KC show Judge Levi Marsman had two new dogs we had not seen previously in the Florida finals, the Rottweiler, CH Veedoc’s Dr Pepper, and the Standard Poodle, CH Chrystal's Totally Chromed Out.
CH Chrystal's Totally Chromed Out
Rounding out the final seven were the more familiar English Setter, CH Chebaco Blames It On Trabeiz, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, CH Adili’s American Idol, the Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe’s Merci Pour Le Poivre, the Pug, CH Tupelo Shoboat Tu China Tu, and the German Shepherd Dog, CH Woodside’s Pacino. Today it was the English Setter‘s, Ross, turn to take home the top prize, his second this year, but the first of this cluster.

GOOD THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES

CH Velocity’s Shake Ur Bon Bon
First, out in the 50th state, the West Oahu Kennel Club was hosting 280 dogs yesterday and the BIS went to the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Boxden Best Regards.

Bon finished 2008 as the country’s top Pomeranian, with seven BIS and 38 Group Firsts.
