THIS AND THAT

CH Sanherpinc Paisa

Now we have some bits and pieces for you. We have heard that the 15” Beagle, Torquay Midnight Confession, was Best at the Fort Doge (IA) Kennel Club’s Saturday show, the Affenpischer, CH Tamarin Tug was tops at today’s Pocatello Kennel Club show in Blackfoot ID, and the Welsh Terrier, CH Sanherpinc Paisa went BIS at the Bahia Sur Kennel Club Of Chula Vista (CA) this afternoon.

CH Starline Chanel

And our little Scottie juggernaut, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, won the 400 plus Terrier smorgasbord hosted by the Great Lakes All Terrier Association in Grays Lake IL today. And just to show you we are not playing favorites with the Terriers, we also heard that the Whippet, CH Starline Chanel was Best at the all Hound hoedown known as the Cascade Hound Association held today in Hillsboro OR.

Aren’t you sorry you weren’t at a dog show today?

BULLDOG BIS

Out in Gridley CA, north of Sacramento, they are already on their third show of the weekend.

CH Globe And Anchor Sgt Iron Mike

Today, the Butte County Kennel Club had Houdton Clark in the BIS ring and he had with him the German Shorthaired Pointer, CH Robin Crest, Charismatic JH, the 15” Beagle, CH Just Right The Full Monty, the Alakan Malamute, CH Catanya’s Latin Lover, the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Warfox Double Exposure, the Maltese, CH Delcrost Mark By Design, the Bulldog, CH Globe And Anchor Sgt Iron Mike, and the Australian Shepherd, CH Old West Urban Cowboy Toby.

BIS went to the sour mug, the Bulldog. Sarge. Not yet three years old, this is the first BIS for Sarge. Congratulations to breeders Catherine & Kenneth Brizzi, owners Dave & Doris Boyd and Mike & Virginia, and handler Mike Stone. And we have another great candid photo. (Look at that profile!)

NEW BIS WINNER

Also in Region Three, was the first show of the weekend for the Echo Hill Kennel Club of Ohio in Troy OH.

CH Bodacious In Enemy Territory

Dr Donald Sturz Jr had the BIS book and his finalists were the Weimaraner, CH Liberty’s Dancin In The Moonlight, the Afghan Hound, CH Gengala Nobody’s Bizness, the Giant Schnauzer, CH Skansen’s Sir August Briggs, the Border Terrier, CH Tyrolian Eight Belles AT Meadowlake, the Smooth Coat Chihuahua, CH Ayrwen Star Kissed Delight, the Bichon Frise, CH Bodacious In Enemy Territory, and the Briard, CH déjà vu Up Close And Personal.

We see the Bichon all the time in the final seven, but we believe this is the first time Terrance and handler Dennis Brown have taken an all breed BIS. Congratulations to breeders/owners Dan & Glenda Blue & Dennis Brown. Next, we have West Coast results.

WE HAVE A PHOTO!

MBF had three shows going today in Region Three today. The first was the Conewango Kennel Club’s second show of the weekend in Stockton NY.

CH Cat Tales Cat Mandu

Vying for BIS in judge Sonny Ambrosio’s final were the Clumber Spaniel, CH Quail Hollows Gelato, the Saluki, CH Cat Tales Cat Mandu, the Alaskan Malamute, CH Nanuke’s Still The One, the Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe’s Merci Pour Le Poivre, the Smooth Coat Chihuahua, CH South Fork’s Go For Broke, the Keeshond, CH Quest Stand By Me, and the Shetland Sheepdog, CH Jesstar Affirmation.

The county’s number one Saluki ran off with the BIS, the second by that breed this year. Unfortunately, we don’t have the first names of any of the breeders (L Hamilton, M Clark & S Hamilton or the owners (H Onto-Murphy, C Murphy, G Neidig & Sabin) or even known who was handling, but we congratulate them all, AND we do have a dandy of a photo (Check out the nonchalant yawn). We have more Region Three reports coming.

ANOTHER BIS WITHOUT A PHOTO

In Region Two, the Southeast Region, we have a two day stand in Waynesville NC courtesy of the Western Carolina Dog Fanciers Association.

CH Sunnyoaks Ready To Rumba

Today the BIS judge was Jean Sheehy and her lucky seven were the Irish Setter, CH Militza’s Strry Starry Night, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendee, CH Rokeena Carte Blanche, the Doberman Ponscher, CH Phillmar Sobe Monster, the Dandie Dinmont, CH Glahms Lady Katherine, the Shih Tzu, CH Yingsu’s Nothin’ To Lose, the Dalmatian, CH Sunnyoaks Ready To Rumba, and the Rough Collie, CH Westwood Alladin.

Today’s BIS went to the Irish Setter, Bridget. This is Bridget’s second Best In Show in the last two weekends. We didn’t have a photo for the first one and, unfortunately, we still don’t have a photo. Hey, we know that it’s North Carolina, but they still have digital cameras. Back in a moment with Region three results.

BACK2BACK FOR DOG2WATCH

The computer staff at Moss Bow Foley (MBF) have been hard a work posting results, so be sure to keep us tuned in for the next couple of hours.

CH Smash Jp Moon Walk

First from Region One, the Northeast Region, We had Cathy Daugherty judging BIS at the North Shore Kennel Club’s second show. Her finalists were the English Setter, CH Rediwood Red Alert, the Scottish Deerhound, CH Gayleward’s Jaraluv Nike, the Great Dane, McMen’s Mother North Wind’s Christophe, the Miniature Schnauzer, CH Sterling’s Patten Pending, the Toy Poodle, CH Smash Jp Moon Walk, the Standard Poodle, CH Dassin Hillwood De-Lovely, and the Bearded Collie, CH Tolkien Raintree Mister Baggins.

Winning back to back BIS was the Toy Poodle, Walker. We named him a DOG2WATCH in January and now he is the number one Toy Dog in the US. We’ll be right back with more results.

LAKELAND BIS IN NY

When we applied to the University of Rochester (NY), we expected that city to be like the New York City metropolitan area. When we checked in freshman year, we were surprised to find upstate New York to be much like our home state of Tennessee, green mountains and valleys full of friendly, somewhat conservative people, just living at decidedly colder temperatures. So we are not surprised in Stockton NY they have a more leisurely approach to reporting show results.

CH Genesis Silverado

Even though the Conewango Kennel Club Show awarded its last rosette several hours prior to the BIS award in Gridley CA, we did not receive their results until two hours after the Shasta Kennel Club. But enough of that, we now know that judge Joseph Gregory’s final seven were the English Setter, CH Esthete’s The Mountain King, the Afghan Hound, CH Genesis Silverado, the Alaskan Mala,ute, CH Nanuke’s Stil The One, the Lakeland Terrier, CH Talydale’s Friend Of The Force, the Miniature Pinscher, CH San Spur’s Forty Five Caliber, the Chinese Shar-Pei, CH Willo’s Caught Ya Lookin’, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, CH Roragyn’s Tuff Enuff.

BKIS went to the 18 month old Lakeland, so new on the scene we could not find a photo of him anywhere. Congratulations to breeder/owner Sheri Smith and handler Michael Kemp.

MORE RESULTS FROM GRIDLEY

CH Catanya’s Latin Lover

We now have the complete report from Gridley CA and the Shasta Kennel Club. In addition to BIS winner, the Elkhound, CH Vin-Melca’s Voyager, judge Richard Reynolds’ finalists were the German Shorthaired Pointer, CH Robin Crest Charismatic JH, the Alakan Malamute, CH Catanya’s Latin Lover, the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Slyfox Sneeks A Peek, the Italian Greyhound, CH KC’s Shake Your Groove Thing, the Bichon Frse, CH Mybliss Petite Coquette, and the German Shepherd Dog, CH Covy Tucker Hill’s TJR’s Flex RE CD HSAS.

ELKHOUND AGAIN

We have heard that the Norwegian Elkhound, CH Vin-Melca’s Voyager, has just picked up his second BIS in two days. This one comes at the Shasta Kennel Club’s second show of the weekend in Gridley CA. We’ll be back in a few with the names of the other finalists and the judge.

PHALAENE BIS

We have an I-Reporter on site at the Little Fort Kennel Club Of Waukegan show in Grayslake IL.

CH Arkeno’s Ears To You

She tells us that judge Robert Hutton’s finalists were the Irish Setter, CH Vineyard’s Bad Boy, the American Foxhound, CH Kiarry’s Foolish Pride, the Samoyed, CH Polar Mist X-Tasy, the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, the Papillion, CH Arkeno’s Ears To You, the Standard Poodle, CH Bar-None Dawin Travelin’ Man, and the Bearded Collie, CH Dunhill Inspiration.

BIS went to the smallest dog in the ring, the Papillion, Cobb. This poster child for the phalaene, the drop ear version of the butterfly dog, has been knocking off the toughest competition in Toy Groups all year, and now has two all breed BIS this year. Congratulations to breeders/owners Kim McKay & Murray Berg, co-breeder James Barnes, co-owners Salwa Alfadl & Mary Jo Loye, and handler John Oulton.
