The Valparaiso Kennel Club was in its Indiana hometown hosting two shows this weekend. The seven dogs that made it to judge Karen McFarlane’s final on Saturday were the Welsh Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Trystyn Statesman Cactus Blue, the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Elmo's Martian Chronicles CGC, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Gamegards I'll Have Another V Braeside, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, GCH CH King's Mtn Angelina Ballerina, the Shih Tzu, GCH CH Hallmark Jolei Rocket Power, the Chinese Shar-Pei, GCH CH La Brise Sun Bear. 

 Her BIS was the Rottweiler, Indy, and her RBIS was the Dandie, Angie. It was the ninth BIS in 31 final appearances this year for the nation’s Number One Rottweiler.
