Claire at 8mos

Maybe 3 is a charm for me ... this little girl was shown only her 3rd time on a lead. From the 6-9mos puppy class she went Best of Winners for her first point at her first show. She was a little skeptical, but she walked with me tail up and gaiting beautifully. Thanks to my friend Charles Hunt for taking her in for best of breed competition, getting the Best of Winners on her while I showed my move-up special.

Claire at 9mos

Claire winning under Judge Anna Wanner.

Claire's 1st MAJOR

Claire picked up her 1st major on a snowy icy cold weekend. Her dark rich red and high action hackney put her in the spotlight today.

Claire's 2nd MAJOR

Claire's second major. Her saucey attitude, short-short coupled loin & super high front action really caught the judges' eye.

Claire with her friend Michele

While I was in Oklahoma City at the Toy Fox Terrier Nationals, Michele showed Claire for me. The duo picked up one more of the few singles that Claire needs to finish.

Claire goes Best of Breed

My thanks to my friend Cody Thomas, who is age 8, for showing Claire while I was in Massaschusetts at the Miniature Pinscher Nationals. Though pictured with his mother, Michele, CODY actually showed Claire to her Best of Breed win, my hat is off to the young man.

Claire takes her 3rd Breed!

Claire has started to win Breed from the classes on a pretty consistent basis. She pretty much shows her little heart out these days.
One more point to go!!!

Claire's debut as a move up!

Her first show after completing her championship, showing as a move up from the bred-by-exhibitor class, Claire took a considerable Breed win under judge Stephen Hurt. She picked up 25 breed points, including defeating 2 dog & 1 other bitch specials.
Claire has taken Breed 5 of the last 6 times she was shown! She retires her show career in fine style. Claire now will try her talents out in the whelping box. Hopefully she will outdo herself in her offspring.

Thanks to these judges for Claire's wins.
