MONDAY MORNING MOP UP

GCH CH Gunther's Gussied Up Edna

We have focused our reports this weekend on the big Terrier Tussle in Pennsylvania, but it’s Monday and that means the Monday Morning Mop Up.  We usually start our reports in the east and work our way west, but we will try to spread it around this morning.

GCH CH Lambluv Gambolon Blue Thunder

We start in Yorkville IL where the Stone City Kennel Club gave us two all breed shows.  Monica Canestrini had the day one final and her pick of the English Springer Spaniel, Gentry's Homecoming Queen, the Longhaired Dachshund, GCH CH Hundelben Queen’s Armada SL, the Giant Schnauzer, Histyle’s Candy Land, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, GCH CH Cumhill Hell Raiser, the Pomeranian, CH Tab’s Scootin’ Boomer of Storm, the Boston Terrier, GCH CH Gunther's Gussied Up Edna, and the Old English Sheepdog, GCH CH Lambluv Gambolon Blue Thunder.

Finishing One/Two were the Boston, Edna, and the OES, Elvis.  It’s tough for a Boston Terrier to get out of the Non-Sporting Group and win a  BIS and the charming Edna has done it twice this year.  Both of her wins have come in the last month.  She is the only Boston Terrier to win a BIS this year.

GCH CH Pem We-Syng Lucky Mi

On Sunday Edna, Elvis, and the LH Dachshund, Cheese, would return for a second try at the big rosette.  Joining them in Col. Jerry H Weiss’ final were the Brittany, GCH CH Star Flight Jumpin Jack Flash OA NAJ, the Great Dane, CH Alpine's Ice Warrior V Hawthorn, the Irish Terrier, CH Granuaile´s Crimson Treasure, and the Japanese Chin, GCH CH Pem We-Syng Lucky Mi.  Once again Elvis would get the Reserve award while the Chin, Mimi would take home the BIS.  Mimi is the winningest Chin in AKC history with 15 BIS this season.
