The two that Dr Robert Indeglia liked were his Reserve, the Cocker, Daniel,  and his Best In Show, the Boston Terrier, Edna.   Edna is the Boston Terrier Club of America’s 2012 Boston Terrier of the Year.  The win was the first BIS by a Boston Terrier this year.  Congratulations to breeder/owner Brook W Berth, owners Andy & Jack McIlwaine, & handler Jason McIlwaine.
