At the end of the day it was the PWD, Matisse, claiming the title of National Champion, while the Wire Fox, Sky, took home the coveted Reserve Best In Show.  It was the second AENC title for handler Michael Scott, who piloted the Pointer, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry, to the title in 2008.  Congratulations to Michael, breeder  Donna Gottdenker, and owners Milan Lint, Peggy Helming, & Donna Gottdecker.
