It was the 15th time this year that the black Standard Poodle had joined the final seven and her persistence paid off with the top prize. The three and half year old bitch is the latest collaboration of four of the best know names in Poodles, breeder/owner/handler Dr. Joseph D. Vergnetti of Medina, OH, and co-owners, Ellen Charles, Karen LeFrak and Wendell Sammet. Congratulations on their first BIS this year.
