Thank you to Judge Michael Dachel for this 3 point major win!
What a way to end the year in Belleville, IL! December 1st and 2nd found us at the Edwardsville Kennel Club show and boy did we have a great time. Sat. CH Mojito took Select Dog for his first GCH Major. Gretel showed very well and was 1st (of 2) in open. They both showed so very well for me that my day had been made right there by 10am.
Huge appreciation for Judge Robert Frost for such an honor!
BUT THEN, the treeing walker coonhound bitch I co-own and handle, Stackem Up's Broadway Mistress "Josie" took her breed (of 1) and went on to WIN THE HOUND GROUP at 7 months old! I am still awestricken, and cannot thank Judge Robert Frost enough for this amazing honor for our girl. The competition in the ring was amazing, and I must say that it was an honor to be in the ring with such respectably high-quality competition. This was a 4 point major win for Josie, as she has not yet completed her CH title.
As if that wasn't enough, CH Mojito went select again on Sunday, for another 3 point major toward his GCH. Gretel was awarded Res. WB that day, and Josie again took BOB (she was the only TWC present). Nothing in the hound group that day, but still such a treat to be able to be a team with an amazing coonhound and my very dear friend. Even better was that the Belleville show being close to home, I was able to share this moment with many dear friends and colleagues. My most sincere thank you to everyone who helps me with this dream of mine in so many ways. I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate your help and value your friendship :)
Best of luck to all exhibitors far and wide, and remember to treat others as you would like to be treated :)
