(Photo above taken by Jen Effler of the BBE Bitch line-up at Monroe 10/02/10)Ta Da! We have a *new* AKC Champion to announce. Cassie is now BPIS American and Canadian Champion Spiritrun's Singular Sensation! She came into this weekend of shows off a very long hiatus from the ring-scene and needing one point and one major. What a way to do it with a 5-point major, going Best of Winners from the Bred-by class under esteemed judge Michelle Billings!
That same day, our little Miss Madison, owned by Colleen and Dave Belanger and myself, won her very large Open bitch class, handled by Colleen and went on to win Reserve Winners Bitch to the 5-point major! This girl is maturing so nicely and what a set of legs she has under her!
Also that day, Uncle Deuce won a 2nd place in his large Open dog class.
Other successes over the weekend included Cassie's Bred-by class win on Friday, 12 year-old Veteran Crystal's class win in the sweeps competition at the GLAMC Specialty and never a dull moment Deuce's NQ from the obedience ring for having "too much fun" once again. Sigh. And Sunny, Spiritrun's Good Day Sunshine, pulled 1,776lbs in weight pull. Her all time high pull!
It was so much fun seeing everyone again and seeing such a wonderful turn-out of malamutes. The Great Lakes club put on a wonderful weekend of events and were incredibly hospitable. Thank-you all!
