BURNING UP THE SHOW RING & I-40

There are other shows going on in our home state of Tennessee. The Greater Kingsport Kennel Club kicked off their weekend today with the first of two shows, some 400 miles to the east of the Jackson shows. The roads in between the two show locations are good and our daughter tells us you can make the trip in just over five hours. We know. We did the math.

CH Salty Dog Of Tampa Bay

Well, apparently Correy & Rindi Krickeberg, handlers of the Labrador Retriever, CH Salty Dog Of Tampa Bay, also found it an easy drive as well. They packed up Salty’s BIS trophy from Friday’s show in Jackson and drove up to Gray TN, got a good night’s rest and collected another BIS trophy today. This one came courtesy of Dr Steve Keating. The other finalists were the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, CH Westwinds Idol Simon Growl, the Bernese Mountain Dog, CH Alpenpirit’s Lion King, the Staffordshire Bull Gterrier, CH Sirius Ivan The Terri-Bull, the Italian Greyhound, CH Integra’s Purple Passion, the Schipperke, CH Nanhalls Sandpiper, and the Australian Cattle Dog, CH SF Adams The Chosen One.

Congratulations to Correy & Rindi and Salty’s breeder/owner Linda Hess.
