CH Slyfox Sneaks A Peek

We just heard that the Smooth Fox Terrier, CH Slyfox Sneaks A Peek, has posted back to back BIS, winning the day two show of the Tucson (AZ) Kennel Club. He’s got our attention.

SUMMER IN WASHINGTON STATE

We have this in from today’s Whidbey Island Kennel Club show in Monroe WA.

Suzanne Dillon’s final seven were the Irish Setter, CH Ashton Peaceful Easy Feeling, the Afghan Hound, CH Polo’s The Aviator, the Tibetan Mastiff, Shang-Hai's King Of Eden, the Scottish Terrier, CH McVan’s Trip The Light Fantastic, the Papillion, CH Queen Bless Jp World Idol, the Standard Poodle, CH Brighton Lakeridge Summer In The Hamptons, and the Belgian Tevuren, CH Sky Acres Spy Plane.

It may be almost Thanksgiving, but it was still summer in Washington State as the Standard Poodle, Summer, added another BIS to her resume, her seventh and her second this month.

THREE 4 THREE

It’s day three in Roseburg OR and it’s day one for the Rogue Valley Kennel Club (and, no, Sara Palin has not got into dogs).

CH Perrisblu Paris

Paula Hartinger’s final included the Britanny, CH RJ’s Sierra Edition, Thursday’s BIS winner, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Soletrader Donald Duck, the Akita, CH Mojo’s Rock’n Your World, the Kerry Blue Terrier, CH Perris Blu Paris, Yesterday’s BIS winner, the Shih Tzu, Amitzu’s China Doll, the French Bulldog, CH Highwood’s Big Shot, the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Avalon ‘s Frontier Sleepnlady Webber.

BIS went to the country’s number one Kerry Blue, Paris. That’s her third BIS this year. Did you notice that the McFaddens have gone three for three in Roseburg with three different dogs? That’s what talent and years of experience will do for you.

NORTH CAROLINA BIS

In Concord NC it was Houston Clark doing Best In Show on day two of the Greater Monroe Kennel Club.

BIS went to the two year old GSD, Meg. Another dog new to us, we think this might be her first BIS as well. Congratulations to breeders Joe & Leslie Beccia & Tari Kridler and owners Rebecca Tsaro Dickson & James & Sheree Moses. We suspect we will see more of this girl soon.

NEW BIS WINNER

While all the east coast is suffering from a nasty nor’easter, the folks in Ocala FL were enjoying perpetual Indian Summer.

CH Mondrian VH Lamslag RE

Sally Ray Baugniet’s final at today’s Greater Ocala Dog Club show included Thursday’s BIS winner, the Black Cokcer Spaniel, CH Bracon’s Leapin Lily Pads, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Ch Rokeena Carte Blanche, the Boxer, Winfall I Dream Of Style, the Norwich Terrier, CH Maystar’s Coast To Coast, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, CH Mondrian VH Lamslag RE, the Standard Poodle, CH Chrystal's Totally Chromed Out , and yesterday’s BIS winner, the German Shpherd Dog, CH Shoal Creek’s Sangria V Barick.

It was yet another Terrier BIS with the Norwich getting the nod. This two year old just showed up on our radar two weeks ago. We do think that this is his first AKC BIS ever. We hope to have more information, and a photo, for you soon. Congratulations to breeders Sandy Hamilton & Frank Bossong DVM, owners David & Sheryl Vogt, and handler Larry Cornelius.

SYRACUSE NY & LINCOLN NE

CH Sporting Field’s Bahama Sands

We have two BIS to tell you about. First from Syracuse NY and the Chenango Valley Kennel Club, we hear that Roberta Davies has selected the Whippet, CH Sporting Field’s Bahama Sands, as her BIS today.

CH Norkus Risky Business

In the heartland, Lincoln NE to be exact, Robert Sharp has tagged the Pug, CH Norkus Risky Business, as today’s Best In Show on day one of the Council Bluffs Kennel Club. Congratulations to them both.

SADIE GET 100 BIS, AGAIN

It was a great show and it will be a dramatic Thanksgiving Day event. The US’ number one dog attains a major AKC distinction, 100 all breed BIS, in a venue that will be seen by 20 million television viewers. What? You thought the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, hit that mark yesterday? Here’s the background story.

CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot

Yesterday’s total included the 2009 Montgomery County Kennel Club BIS title. Well, although MCKC is an all breed club and awards an all breed rosette at it’s show, we all know it is a limited breed (all Terrier) show. So look for the announcers on Thanksgiving Day to tell you that it was Sadie’s 100th all breed BIS. Anyway you look at it, she has 100 all breed Best In Show awards and that puts her in the most exclusive company in AKC.

And is always the case in this show, everyone of the finalists was an outstanding, crowd pleasing representative of his/her breed. Also visiting Mrs Robet D (Polly) Smith’s BIS ring were the Labrador Retriever, CH Casbar’s Harrt To Hart, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Celestial CJ’s Hearts On Fire, the Doberman Pinscher, CH Allure Blazing Star Alisaton, the Miniature Pinscher, CH Kimro’s Soldier Boy, the Bulldog, CH Kepley’s Showbiz Razzle Dazzle, and the Bearded Collie, CH Tolkien Raintree Mister Baggins.

So on Thanksgiving Day, between the Macy’s Parade and your Aunt Tilly’s pumpkin pie, do participate in a bit of dog show tradition and history. Watch the National Dog Show, brought to you by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia and Purina.
