MORE BIG BIS

GCH CH Ripsnorter’s Mt View Lookout

We  have two more big BIS to tell you about.  The first is today’s 2600 dog Beaumont Kennel Club show in Houston TX where Houston Clark (just a coincidence, we think) chose the Black Cocker Spaniel, GCH CH Casablanca‘s Thrilling Seduction as his BIS.  Beckham, the nation’s Number Seven Dog All Breeds (expect that to change), and handler Linda Pitts now have 14 BIS this year.

In Philpot KY the entry was smaller, but still a noteworthy 1200 dogs.  However, the big story was that the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Ripsnorter’s Mt View Lookout, picked up his 30th career all breed Best, a new record for the breed.  Congratulations to breeders Helen Witt, Claire Wisch & Kelly Wisch, owners Kiki Courtelis, & Joyce Wilkinson, James Witt & Helen Witt and handler Frank Murphy.
