WESTIE HAT TRICK IN BISMARK

There were not a lot of points available at the Bismark’s Kennel Club’s four shows this past week. However, the West Highland White Terrier, CH Arbroath’s Rosewood Rise N’ Shine, certainly made the most of them, winning four Terrier Groups and three BIS.

CH Arbroath’s Rosewood Rise N’ Shine

On Thursday, Geordie, was joined in Michael Dougherty’s ring by the Black Cocker Spaniel, CH Southern.s Rd White And Blue, the Basenji, CH Ab-Rafiki The Icon Of Cool, the Portuguese Water Dog, CH Odyseas Card Shark, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, CH Orchard hill Shirmont Back Talk, the Schipperke, CH Dante Fire When Read HOF, and the Old English Sheepdog, CH Bugaboo’s Georgie Girl. The eight year old Schipperke denied the Westie a clean sweep by taking home the BIS. Congratulations to breeder/owner Amy Grossman, co-breeder Gene Johnson, co-owners M Jameson MD & P Allison, and handler Erin J Roberts.
