On Friday Dr Albert Bianchi was in the final ring for the hometown Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club.  His super seven were the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova, the American Foxhound, GCH CH Kiarry’s Pandora’s Box, the Akita, GCH CH CR-Wica Trader’s Secret, the Scottish Terrier, GCH CH Lomondview Clementina, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, Dalmatian, GCH CH Spotlight’s Ruffian, and the German Shepherd Dog, GCH CH Babheim’s Captain Crunch. 

Grabbing the top prize over that imposing competition was the Akita, Trader.  The Doctor’s Reserve was the Springer, Peyton.  It was Trader’s sixth BIS in 57 times in the final ring.

Saturday saw some of the top dogs head for other venues, but most stayed put hoping to see BIS judge Dr John Reeve-Newson.  The seven he saw were the Weimaraner, GCH CH Northwoods Send Money Honey, the Bloodhound, GCH CH Snoopi Friends In Low Places MLH, the Saint Bernard, GCH CH Jamelle’s Aristocrat V Elba, the above named  Scottie, Affenpinscher, & Dalmatian,  and the German Shepherd Dog, CH CH Adelgards Guilty As Charged V Tsali.

The Doctor’s RBIS was the Weimaraner, Schatze, and his BIS was the Affenpinscher, Joey.  Joey is the country’s Number One Toy Dog and the Number Five Dog All Breeds.  He and handler Ernesto Lara have collected 35 BIS this year.

Packing up the stop’s last awards were the RBIS, the Dal, Ian, and the Irish Setter, Reign.   It’s a year when it’s tough to be a Sporting Dog.  Reign now has two BIS in  23 final attempts.  Yes, it is rough out there.
