Our last stop of the weekend is in Canby OR where the Clackamas Kennel Club offered us two super sized shows.  On Saturday Monica Canestrini saw the seven best of  almost 1900 dogs entered.  They were the Irish Setter, CH Kaerdon's Just Tickled Pink, the Saluki, CH Carmas Indian Summer, the Bernese Mountain Dog, CH Taplacs Invincible Vinny RN, the American Staffordshire Terrier, CH Alpine's Highwayman, the Long Coat Chihuahua, CH Dragon Lair Wildrose Mojo Risin, the Chinese Shar-Pei, CH R-Lee Ticket To U Got The Look, and the Shetland Sheepdog, CH PaRay Cirque Du Soleil.  It was the smallest dog getting the biggest win of the weekend, the Chihuahua, Mojo.  it’s the first BIS of the year for Mojo and owner/handler Christy Marley.  Mojo was bred by Melissa Vannoy and is co-owned by K Garret.  Congratulations to them all.
