What a lovely ending to a great show year, at the TBKTC shows in Thunder Bay. Olivia, Can/UKC Ch. Olivia De Havilland obtained a Group 4th, under Judge Rosemary Shoreman, and a BOS under Marilyn Foulds. Cassidy, MBPIG Ch. Dalgarnoch Sundance Kid, knocked on the door for 2 shows, with 2 BOS, but took the crown on Sunday, under Marilyn Foulds, with a Group 4th, handled as always by Melanie Parker.

It was sweet sorrow to watch these two in the ring, at Melanie's final show as a Jr Handler. How fitting that she ends the weekend with a Group 4th, and an absolutely beautiful picture seen below, by Faye Unrau. We were all a little teary eyed, seeing the finish of a spectacular career of this amazing young lady. Melanie started in Jr Handling at the age of 9, with Ch. Dalgarnoch Emperor, and she never looked back. Although we will miss her in the Jr Ring, we will always enjoy watching her handle at the shows. Congratulations Melanie, you are a delight.

The AKC trail...

We started off our 2012 AKC journey on a high note this past May, at the Indianhead Kennel Club Shows in Eau Claire Wisconson. Can. Ch. Olivia De Havilland once again showed us she had what it takes to win, with a Best Of Breed under Judge Charlotte McGowan, and a Best of Opposite Sex. This beautiful tri girl was handled by Bettijane Flanagan. Not to be left behind, her kennel mate, Can. Ch. Dalgarnoch Opening Act, came away with a Best of Opposite Sex to Olivia, also under judge Charlotte McGowan. Dan the Man was handled by Melanie Parker.
