Coming in from the Heartland is a report on the Kennel Club Of Columbus, Indiana’s two shows which were actually held in Edinburgh IN, 33 miles south of Indianapolis.  As we have told you many times before, get out to your local shows.  You never know who is going to stop by.  For Hoosiers the dog to see was the country’s Number Two Dog All Breeds, the Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Claircreek’s Impression de Matisse.  Matisse would leave Indiana with both of the KCCI’s big rosettes in his tack box.
