OUT AND ABOUT

As we stated previously, we are up late at night typing away because we spent the day up the road in Jackson TN where day two of the Clarksville Kennel Club was on deck. We managed to get to the show just after start and watched several of the breed judgings as well as all of the groups and BIS.

We were pleased to see that one of our axioms still holds true. You will see outstanding dogs at every AKC event. We saw BIS winners defeated in the breed and get left out of Group placements. We also saw some outstanding dogs make it into judge Patricia Gellerman’s final.

CH Salty Dog Of Tampa Bay

They were the Labrador Retriever, CH Salty Dog Of Tampa Bay, the Rhodesian Rideback, CH Of Afrikka Spring Valley Dorian Gray JC, Thursday’s BIS winner, the Rottweiler, CH Evrmor Xtraodinaire V Stoneridge, the Lakeland Terrier, CH Hi-Kel Terrydale Soldier Of Fortune, the Pomeranian, CH Castile’s Endless Love, the Standard Poodle, CH Bar-None Dawin Travelin' Man, and the Bearded Collie, CH Brigadoon’s Just George. BIS went to the outstanding Lab, Salty, his second this year.

As always we had a ball. We appreciate all of you who took the time to seek us out and introduce yourselves. We appreciate the graciousness of all of those we sought out to introduce ourselves. Most of all we appreciate all of you who shared your dogs with us, especially Dee Germany of Shadowlands Kennels and Joan Weiskopf, co-owner and handler of the BIS winning Bedlington Terrier, CH Velvety Angel Eyes.
