GCH CH PaRay Preferential

His Best was the Poodle, Ally, and his Reserve was the Sheltie, Satoshi.  Ally has been among the country’s top dogs since her spectacular win from the classes at the Poodle Club of America’s 2010 National Specialty.  This year Ally is the Number One Non-Sporting Dog and Number Ten Dog All Breeds with 25 BIS and 52 Group Ones.

GCH CH Absolutely Talk of the Town

Sunday judge Faye Strauss would see five of Saturday’s finalists and  the Black & Tan Coonhound, GCH CH Windbourne HD Ranch King Of The Road, & the Affenpinscher, CH Vily's Apolo Ohno.  She would choose the Smooth Fox, Taylor, as her Best.  Getting his second RBIS of the set was the Sheltie, Satoshi.  The win was Taylor’s tenth BIS in 26 final attempts this year.  Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Taylor and handler Eddie Boyes at Montgomery County on Sunday.  Hopefully the two will be back east for the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
