Best in Show #2 for Betsy

We flew to Puerto Rico where Betsy garnered 3 Group 1s and a Best in Show under Kent Delaney, Groups were Marlene Mortera, Jon Cole and David Kirkland.

Betsy kept quiet in October mostly, but we did manage Best of Opposite at Hatboro I, Select Bitch at Hatboro II, and Select Bitch at the National at Montgomery in tough competition. Betsy continues to maintain the #2 position in both breed and all breeds!! And is still a Top 20 Terrier!

Thank you all for the support!

A Busy Summer!

So here is a quick wrap up of what has gone on for July and August:

Betsy had a hell of a month of June and July, she won the Rotating weekend specialty, STCC over a field of around 60+ scotties on that Friday, as well as Select Bitch at the rotating and the Great Western Terrier Show. We then went on to win the Dallas Specialty, the Houston Specialty, and most recently the Michigan Specialty, bring her total number of specialties to 7!!! She has over 12 group 1s now, including the Best in SHow and several group placements.

Along the way, we also finished Max's Sister's championship recently, she was Winners Bitch the same day at the STCC California Specialty, this was her debut and got her a 5 point major. She then went on to Winners Bitch/BOW at the Houston Specialty as well as a move up special she went Select Bitch at the Michigan Specialty with my mom piloting her.
I've attached a picture of Maikosan after taking points in Greenville, SC, this gave her another major towards her points.

Jonjo also tagged along at a few shows, the wire fox terrier and accumulated some more breed points to keep him in the Top 5.

We also brought out Super, Specials Wire Super Star who also got a 3 point major and a few singles towards his championship, all in one weekend. He has only bee shown a few times.

So Betsy is now #2 Scottish Terrier, not far behind #1, and #2 in All Breed points, as well as getting her #15 spot Terrier in the country through August 31st. Not bad for a part timer! :)

Betsy is on a Roll!!!

Since coming back from Kansas we went to Alaska back to Fairbanks where I was born and raised for the 3 day cluster of Tanana Valley Kennel Club where Betsy picked up 3 Group 1s under Edd Bivin, Denny Mounce and Robert Shreve.

We then took a weekend off and then went out to Washington State for the WSSTC Specialty where Clay Coady gave Betsy Best in SPecialty Show Best of Breed!

The following day will be a day I'll never forget! Ch. McVan's Be Bop Baby went on from Best of Breed by Charlotte McGowan, to Group 1 under Charlotte Patterson, and then on to Best in Show under Judge Dana P. Cline at Puyallup Dog Fanciers KC!

On Sunday Betsy again went on to Group 1 under Al Ferrugio making this her 7th consecutive Group 1 win the past 3 weekends out!

Go Betsy!!!

Betsy takes on HASTC

Betsy has been doing great since the last update, including a few more Group 1s to her merit, including some big Best of Breeds, a trip to Northern Cal Terrier where she was Best of Breed both days at the Terrier shows including a Group 4! She then went on later to Michigan Terrier where she was Back to Back Group 2s and finished on Sunday with a Group 1. Recently she was Best of Breed in tough competition at Trenton Kennel Club on Sunday and then had a weekend off while Jonjo went to Central States and got an Award of Merit. Then Betsy took on Kansas and the HASTC Specialty where Betsy was BISS and then Back to Back Group 1s with the following Sunflower KC All Breed shows.

Now we are off to Alaska!!!

Betsy is off to a Great Start!
