YUMA AZ FINALISTS

We now have those elusive results from this weekend’s Yuma AZ shows. We told you yesterday that the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, grabbed the hat trick winning Saturday’s day two Yuma Kennel Club event and both Sunday & Monday’s offerings of the Imperical Valley Kennel Club. Here are eighteen more finalists from those events.

The lucky folks in Yuma got see a whole lot of AKC best dogs over the four days. You can see many of these dogs in Long Beach CA at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship on December 12th & 13th. We’ll be there, bringing you all the results.

TOP DOGS STAY THAT WAY

We have the last report of the weekend in, from Savannah GA and the Beaufort Kennel Club.

CH Rokeena Carte Blanche

Charles Olvis had last call today and his super seven were the Labrador Retriever, CH Salty Dog Of Tampa Bay, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche, yesterday BIS winner, the Boxer, CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream, the West Highland White Terrier, CH Mac-Ken-Char’s Here I Am, the Papillion, CH Queen Bess Jp World Idol, the Tibetan Spaniel, CH Lorac’s Yeshee Wongchhu, and the German Shepherd Dog, CH Shoal Creek’s Sangria V Barick.

Closing out the Savannah stop was the country’s number one Hound, the PBGV, CeeJay. We had remarked on Friday that the Boxer, Scarlet, the PBGV, CeeJay, and the Toy Poodle, Walker, the fifth, sixth, & seventh dogs all breeds were all in Savannah. All three picked up a BIS this weekend, leaving their status unchanged. And that’s why the good ones stay on top.

THREE-PEAT FOR SADIE

We’ve been stalling all day hoping we could get you results from this weekend’s Yuma AZ shows. However, what we do have is kind of special, so here it is.

CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot
with handler Gabriel Rangel

We did give you all of Friday’s results from the day one show of the Yuma Kennel Club where the nation’s number one dog all breeds, the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, took a rare backseat to her kennel mate, the Lakeland Terrier, CH Tuscaroran Champ Luna. We have learned that she came roaring back winning all three BIS Saturday, Sunday, and today.

If any of you thought that Sadie might take it easy now that she has hit the 100 BIS mark, think again. This girl has more big wins yet to come.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING IN TEXAS

One place we have not visited this weekend is Conroe TX (That’s just north of Houston) where the hometown Conroe Kennel Club tossed off two shows for us.

CH Donnchada Sweet Dreams

Saturday’s show featured native son Edd Bivin in the last ring with the Pointer, CH Penpoint In Dress Blues, the Whippet, CH Starline's Chanel, the Boxer, CH Bravo N Sunset Stealing Time, the Wire Foxc Terrier, CH Dalriada's Mystic, the Pekingese, CH Franshaw Hear Me Roar, the Standard Poodle, CH Donnchada Sweet Dreams, and the Australian Shepherd, CH Paradigm's Bayouland On Broadway.

CH Dalriada's Mystic

The Standard Poodle is a dog show icon and this year is a prime example. You will find a superlative example of the biggest of the Poodle varieties no matter where you are in the US. Here in Conroe it was the White Standard, Patsy, taking home her tenth BIS this year, her sixth in a month, and her fourth in a row! Sweet Dreams, indeed. Maybe California Dreaming?

Sunday, Doris Cozart took over the final ring. She saw the same Boxer, Wire Fox, Peke, and Poodle with the Weimaraner, CH Harline N Win'Weim It's My 2nd Martini, the 15” Beagle, Rockwoods Power Of Love, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, CH Twinroc Santa Paws HICs. Her Best was the Wire Fox, Boo. She is the only Wire Fox to win an all breed BIS this year. Her first was in February. Yesterday’s win was her second. We are not sure what she has been doing these last ten months, but we will be looking for her in the future, maybe in Long Beach?

KATCHING UP IN KANKAKEE

Our next stop is Kankakee IL where the Kankakee River Valley Kennel Club gave us at pair of shows this weekend.

CH Skipper's Eminence Of Helluland

We did tell you that the Norwich Terrier, CH Abbedale Take Two At Taliesin was judge Terri Lyddon’s BIS on Saturday. Her alternative’s were the English Springer Spaniel, CH Wil-Orion's Twenty Twenty, the Whippet, CH Kamada's Instant Millionaire, the Newfoundland, CH Skipper's Eminence Of Helluland, the Pomeranian, CH Velocity's Shake Ur Bon Bon, the Dalmatian, CH Paisley Inspird By Broadway, and the Old English Sheepdog, CH Lambluv's Daydream Believer.

CH Lambluv's Daydream Believer

Sunday’s judge was Dr Gerard C Penta and Sunday’s finalists were the Black Cocker Spaniel, CH EXL’s Leather-N-Lace, the Plott Hound, CH CCH.Black Monday, the above named Newfie, Saturday BIS winner, the Norwich, Sage, the Papillon, CH Wingssong Rock Star, the Keeshond, CH Daimler's Caviar Dreams, and the aforementioned Old English Sheepdog.

His BIS was the US’ number one OES, Winston. That’s Winston’s twelfth BIS this year and his second in the last two weekends. Winston is the number five Herding Dog and moves back into the top 25 with this win.

EAST LANSING SUNDAY

CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice

We had two shows in East Lansing MI this weekend and we told you all about Saturday’s event.

IT'S SCARLET IN SAVANNAH

We may have had an abbreviated show week, but there was no lack of excitement. Let’s catch you up.

CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream

There were three towns hosting AKC shows on the East Coast this week, Fitchburg MA, Savannah GA, and Arcadia FL. We told you all about the first and third, but we owe you Sunday results for the second. Stephen Hubbell had the BIS book for the Beaufort Kennel Club’s day one show. He made his choice from the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, CH Fireside's Spontaneous Combustion, the Petit Bassett Griffon Vendeen, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche, the Boxer, CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream, the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Kemosabe Broxden High Button Shoes, the Toy Poodle, CH Smash JP Moon Walk, the Schipperke, CH Aned's Le Rocher Noir, and yesterday’s BIS winner, the German Shepherd Dog, CH Kridler's Nutmeg V Signature.

What coulkd be more appropriate for a girl named Scarlet to take Savananah? (We know it was Atlanta, but go with us on this one) Best In Show went to the Boxer, Scarlet. Scarlet and handler Diego Fernando Garcia have been on a roll lately picking up four BIS in the last few weeks. She is currently the number one Boxer, the number two Working Dog, and the number five dog all breeds.
