WEEKEND REPORT REGION FOUR

We only had a glimpse of Region Four, the North Central Region, over the weekend. We gave you the BIS winners from the Wheaton (IL) Kennel Club shows, but we didn’t have the other finalists.

CH Topsfield-Sanchu American Express

On Saturday, BIS winner the Cavalier, CH Mondiran VH Lamslag, was joined in Patricia Lapinski’s final by the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, CH Sandbar’s Stock Exxchange, the Basset Hound, CH Topsfield-Sanchu American Express, the Doberman Pinscher, CH Abadie’s Crystal Vision, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, CH Cornerstoen Solioquy, the Lhasa Apso, CH Northwind Nothing But Trouble, and the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Quiche’s Demitrius.

CH Cedar C & Barnstorm’s Ltd Edition

On Sunday, judge Pamela Peat went over the English Springer Spaniel, CH Tiffany Esspecial Imagery, the Saluki, CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles Of Jatara, the Alaskan Malamute, CH Sno Klassic Play The Game, the Miniature Schnauser, CH Rampage Triple Crown, the Tibetan Terrier, CH Cedar C & Barnstorm’s Ltd Edition, and the Bouvier before choosing the Pug, CH Tupelo ShoBoat Tu China Tu, as her Best In Show.

CH Carrera Strike The Gold

Up in Jordan MN, they were having record low temperatures at the Lake Minnetonka Kennel Club’s shows. On Saturday judge Steve Hurt’s seven were the Golden Retriever, CH Carrera Strike The Gold, the Afghan Hound, CH Kassan’s Windwalker Of Skyview, the Bernese Mountain Dog, CH Jenda’s Hail The Queen, the Norfolk Terrier, CH Max-Well’s Viper, the Havanese, CH Heartland’s Rumor Has It, the Dalmatian, CH Paisley Nspird By Broadway, and the Bouvier des Flandres, CH Limerick’s Shakespeare.

Grabbing the heavy silver was the Golden, Albert. Better known as a sire than a current star of the show ring, this is the five year old’s first BIS this year. Congratulations to breeder/owner Jan Draper.

CH Jenda’s Hail The Queen

Sunday, Albert was back with the Bernese, the Norfolk, and the Bouvier. Also vying for judge Anne Fleming’s attention were the Rhodesian Ridgeback, CH Tji-Wara’s Distant Drums, the Pomeranian, CH Velocity’s Shake Ur Bon Bon, and the Bichon Frise, CH Height’s WWW.COM. What’s more appropriate on a cold day that a Bernese BIS? We haven’t seen much of this three year old girl, but she has two BIS in very limited showing. We tip our hat to breeder/owner/handler Jeni West.

Region Five Results up next.
