BOUVIER BIS

Saturday was day two in Marshfield WI and the Marshfield Area Kennel Club held their first show of the weekend with Dorothy Welsh officiating.

CH Quiche`s Demitrius

Her final seven were the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, CH Sandbars Stock Exchange, the Basenji, CH Ankhu Promises In The Dark, the Akita, CH Buckridge Positive Energy, the Norwich Terrier, CH Skyscots Poker Chip, the Shih Tzu, CH Ista`s Tearin` It Up, the Tibetan Terrier, H. Ri Lee`s Diamond Heirloom, and the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Quiche`s Demitrius.

Earlier this year we had a bunch of Bouviers logging BIS. However we haven’t heard from that breed of late. Perhaps Demitrius’ win yesterday will change all that. Congratulations on number four this year to breeder/owner/handler Elaine Paquette.
