GCH CH Waterway Game Crk Hot Diggity  

We’ve been waiting to tell you about this past weekend in Des Moines IA & the Cyclone Country Kennel Club Of Ames’ two shows.  On Saturday clay Coady picked his BIS from the American Water Spaniel, GCH CH Waterway Game Crk Hot Diggity, the Longhaired Dachshund, GCH CH Hendelben Queen’s Armada SL, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Redfield’s Itz My Tyme RN, the Norfolk Terrier, GCH CH Max-Well’s Violet, the Smooth Coat Chihuahua, GCH CH Heavenly’s Darling Dana, the Dalmatian, GCH CH Glen Oaks Firekeeper’s Gambler, and the Old English Sheepdog, GCH CH Lambluv Gambolon Blue Thunder.  

It was the rarest among them, the American Water Spaniel, Digger, taking home his first BIS of the year.  Digger is the only AWS to win an AKC all breed show in the last three seasons.  Congratulations to breeders/owners Linda & Jon Hattrem & Pamela Boyer.
