It was a "big" kennel club show with 2.700 entries. And Damon became BIS-2!!!!!!!

He now took some good points for top dog :-)))))))))))

The American Cocker became group-2 and the poodle had missed the entry....

So we still cross fingers. He's in the lead. But it's two BIG shows left. Hugs A-L

The Falconers send news from New Zealand October 8!

CH Thornapple Hot Temptation "Zippo"

Attached find photos of Allan, Zippo and Chelsea as Zippo won DCC, BOB & BEST OF GROUP

yesterday at the Champ shows in Kerikeri in the North part of New Zealand. Chelsea handled Zippo for BOB

and Intermediate of Group and for Intermediate of Show. The two are really starting to get it together.

Kerikeri is so beautiful, and as we had never been there before, left early and traveled up slowly

to take in all the beautiful scenery. It was a really super venue, close to the town and and beautiful caravan park

is where we stayed. Boy, if it was not so far away from everywhere else, I would love to live around there. Di
