Her BIS was the Sheltie, Satoshi, and her RBIS was the Springer, Maddox. We first came upon Satoshi in January of 2013 when he took two BIS at the huge Rose City Cluster in Portland OR. Saturday’s win was the first this year for Satoshi and breeder/owner/handler Tray Pittman. Congratulations to Tray and co-owner Kim Furlong.
