This year the AMCA Specialties were in our back yard – Gettysburg, PA. The judges were all well-known and well-respected breeders:
Regional Sweepstakes – Rosanne Deutsch (Kloudburst)
Regional Regular Classes – Wendy Willhauck (Frostfield)
National Sweepstakes – Barb Salvadore (Pale Moon)
Futurity/Maturity – Val Costello (Windstorm)
National Regular Classes – Al Holabach (Williwaw)
We had a great time, and so did our dogs. The puppies did great placing in every class they were entered in, with one exception. Bugsy was outstanding, winning WINNERS DOG at the Regional to finish his AKC Championship!! WoooHoooo…. We moved him up to the breed for the National and he made the first cut. Star also was just brilliant at 9 years of age. She won all but one of her classes and in the National made it through to the VERY LAST cut!!!
Many, many thanks to all the judges who made it one very special week for us by thinking so highly of our dogs. Bugsy’s breeder/co-owner was just THRILLED with his win!

The weekend of 24th October before the AMCA National Specialty we went to Virginia as a warm up, and what a warm-up it was!! The weather was wet & very windy but the dogs thrived.

In the regular classes, Bugsy won Open and Winners Dog while Bijou won her puppy class and Winners Bitch for a 4 point major! Bugsy beat her for BOW earning his second major.
