Its been a busy summer, so busy I haven't had time to update the blog and who knows when I'll update the website. :):)

June Highlights

July

Danny and I flew up to Alaska for a visit where Danny was Group 2 and 2 Group 1s at the Kenai Kennel Club Shows, also managed to get 2 majors on Joanne's mini poodle. :)

August

Danny and I drove 10 hours to Greenville, SC where Danny picked up back 2 back group ones over a field of 200 or so terriers each day, awesome!!!

Emma, New. Ch. Princescots Prime Suspect, who came to me in the spring for conditioning, picked up both her majors in Greenville, go Best of Opposite one day over the special and BOW.

Then it was off to Canfield, where Danny was Best of Breed the first 3 days under wonderful judges such as Harry O Donohue, Peggy Beisel, and Sally George, all of which were specialties and picked up over 100 breed points for the weekend.

Emma, then went Winners Bitch BOW the first day at Canfield finishing her championship in record time, and then moved up as a special, she went Best of Opposite the next three days over the other special giving her 10 points towards her Grand Champion.

We then took Emma to shows in Ohio where she got back to back Group 4s with Maddie Aroney and Sarah Karger handling. Danny also received a Group 2 at these shows.

Then it was off to Washington State for Danny and me to visit Vandra and see puppies. Danny again went Best of Breed all 3 days a wonderful Group 2 under Elaine Young for another good chunk of 200 or so points. Frankie, my wheaty scottie boy was Best of Breed with Travis the first day and then BOS the next two days to his bitch special Ginger.

Then it was back to NJ for Labor Day where Danny went Best of Breed each day for a few more points.

September Highlights

Went back out to Ohio where Emma got a Group 4 and Group 2 with my Mom's expert handling. Danny was Best of Breed both days.

Massachusetts was the next stop where Emma picked up more Grand Champion points and went Best of Breed on the final day over a field of 3 specials under Mr. Peter Green, an honor!!! Then Danny went on to a Group 2 under Peter Green later in the day!!! An exciting win for me!

This past weekend we went to Butler PA where Emma pulled off a Group 1 with Sarah Karger handling, and then on to BOB and the cut the next day. Danny pulled off the breed the first day and then went on to Group 1 under Lydia Hutchison on Sunday, what a weekend!

She has since then moved to Open Senior where she has consistently won and placed with him. She is currently #2 Terrier Junior in the country with a combined effort of her Smooth Fox Splash and Wire Chipper, and is #2 Wire Junior, but creeping up fast to catch the other junior hoping to be #1.

Good Luck Bridget!!!
