PWD CLOSES IN ON RECORD

GCH CH Claircreek’s Impression de Matisse

The Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Claircreek’s Impression de Matisse, renewed his assault on the record books with a BIS win at yesterday’s York Kennel Club show in that Pennsylvania burg.

GCH CH Soonpi Friends in Low Places MLH

Challenging Matisse for judge Charles Olvis’ favor were the English Setter, GCH CH Weymouth’s En Fuego, the RBIS, the Bloodhound, GCH CH Soonpi Friends in Low Places MLH, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, GCH CH Nazans I’m In Like Flynn, the Papillon, GCH CH InVolo The King of Pop, the Chow Chow, GCH CH Are-Jay’s Harlem Renaissance, and the Bearded Collie, GCH CH Classical’s My Turn.

The win is Matisse’s 24^th in 30 visits to the final ring this year and his 119^th career BIS, just shy of the record for a Working Dog of 124.
