SALUKI HAT TRICK IN SOUTH DAKOTA

GCH CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara

Our last report from the previous weekend comes in from Rapid City SD where the hometown Rapid City Kennel Club hosted three shows.  One dog made the most of the stop, taking all three BIS rosettes, the Saluki, GCH CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara.

It started on Friday with judge Roger Hartinger picked Bubbles out of a lineup that included the Weimaraner, GCH Simpatico Equal Justice, the Bernese Mountain Dog, GCH CH B Havens Sherpa Mtn Endeavor, the RBIS, the Bedlignton Terrier, GCH CH First Class Willow Wind The Phoenix, the Chinese Crested, GCH CH Egillo Z Teramonu, the Schipperke, GCH CH Cedric The Entertainer HOF, and the Rough Collie,  Cheviot Midnight Liaison.

Saturday judge James Noe would be more impressed by Bubbles than he was by his Reserve winner, the Pomeranian, GCH CH CR Chase What Matters, who impressed him more than did the German Shorthaired Pointer, CH Ehrenvogel Key To My Heart, the Boxer, CH Nantess Calano Numero Uno, the Miniature Schnauzer, CH Minuteman Toxicology, the Chinese Shar-Pei, GCH CH Vaje’s Jethrene Bodine, and the Border Collie, GCH CH Tang Dynasty Rocky.

Sunday judge Donavan Thompson would see the Dalmatian, GCH CH Folklore Celtic Crossfire Trail, and the aforementioned GSP, Saluki, Bernese, Bedlington, Pomeranian, and Border Collie.  He would choose Bubbles and the Pom, Chase, as his BIS and RBIS.  Bubbles is the nation’s Number One Saluki and the Number Five Hound with 14 BIS and 63 Hound Groups.
