Judge Michael Dachel had Saturday’s final, choosing the Pug, JJ, and the Bichon Frise, GCH CH Vogelflight’s “Honor” to Pillowtalk, as his Top Two.  Also hoping for consideration were the Vizsla, GCH CH Jakra’s Flirtn With Fifty Shades, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline Oxford Victim of Love, the Great Dane, CH  Alpine’s Ice Warrior V Hawthorne, the Australian Terrier, GCH CH Dunham Lake’s Scout Master, and the Shetland Sheepdog, GCH CH Grandgables The Frat Boy.

Sunday judge Thomas Kilcullen, would see the same seven, save one, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, GCH CH Cumhill Hell Raiser.  He would make the Whippet, Hartley his Reserve to JJ.  JJ and handler Barry Clothier now have nine BIS in 46 final appearances this year, good enough to make JJ the Number One Pug, the Number Two Toy Dog, and the Number 17 Dog All Breeds.
