CLEO TAKES BEST OF BREED & FINISHES HER AKC GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP ON DAY 1 IN RALEIGH, NC! – 03.21.20123/21/2012 Today is a happy day for Team Cleo! Congratulations and thank you to my amazing handling team, Daniel Sanchez & Vanessa Lanz-Sanchez, for showing this special girl from her very first show point in December to today’s impressive Best of Breed win in Raleigh, NC under Judge Dawn Hansen. This win earned her an AKC Grand Champion title at 13 months of age.
Special thanks goes to Yulia Washington for breeding her, Kathi Wisdom for whelping her litter, raising, loving & training her and to Steel Campbell & JoAnne Campbell, who own her poppa, CH Ace. Also, thanks to all the judges who contributed to Cleo’s success, listed below! Not bad for a puppy showing for just over 14 weeks! Cleo will now be taking a break from the conformation show ring and come home to relax and take up space on the sofa! Mr. Joseph E. Gregory Mr. Robert J. Caswell Mrs. Patricia V. Trotter Ms. Sharol Candace Way Mrs. Paula Nykiel Mr. Robert E. Fetter Ms. Angela Porpora Mr. Jay Richardson Mr. Alberto Berrios Mrs. Pat A. Mowbray-Morgan Mrs. Lee Canalizo Mr. Alan Addicott Mrs. Donna Buxton Mr. Jon Cole Mrs. Dawn Hansen Karma also did great in Raleigh today earning Select Bitch under Judge Dawn Hansen with her handler Daniel Sanchez for another Grand Championship point! Thanks to all involved, including Cleo & Karma, for such a successful show day! Professional win photos to come soon… Cleo, at 13 months of age, took Best of Breed in Davie, FL, under Judge Jon Cole, with handler Daniel Sanchez, for another 3 points towards her GCH! 1 point left!!! Thanks Judge Cole, Danny and of course, my baby girl, Cleo!
For the second show day in a row, Karma was awarded Select Bitch today and her first point toward her Grand Championship under Col. Joe Purkhiser as judge and with handler Daniel Sanchez. She also defeated 2 champions, 1 of which will count toward her Grand Championship. After the show, Cleo and Karma got to hang out with Orso. Instead of taking traditional show ring photos, I took photos of them all hanging out ringside and in the exercise pens. Enjoy!
Today was a very nice show day! I haven’t seen Cleo & Karma since January, so it was amazing to see how much they had grown in these past two months. I didn’t even recognize Karma when I saw her! This weekend’s shows are in Davie, which is only about an hour from my house, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see my girls in the ring! It also turned out to be a very successful show day, making it all that much better of a day! Since Cleo and Karma are both working on their AKC Grand Championship titles, they now compete against each other in the Best of Breed class. Today, Cleo won Best of Breed – a wonderful achievement – and Karma won Select Bitch, so they both finished the day with points! Today’s judge was Mr. Jon Cole, who was incredibly pleasant! Cleo’s Best of Breed win earned her a 4-point major and the opportunity to compete in the Working Group class, where she showed beautifully. At only 13 months old, she was most likely the youngest in the ring and competition was tough, so just having the chance to represent our breed in the Working Group class was quite an excellent experience! Cleo now has only 1 point left to finish her AKC Grand Championship then she gets to come home and relax with me! Thanks to Judge Cole, my handlers Daniel & Vanessa Sanchez and everyone else who helped out in the ring! Of course, lots of appreciation goes to Cleo & Karma! Below are my favorite photos of the day and a short video of Cleo with her friends, Angel the Rottweiler and Fay the Bullmastiff, in the Working Group class, enjoy! Karma in Best of Breed class where she won Select Bitch: Cleo after winning Best of Breed: Karma chillin’: Cleo just before going in to Working Group: Cleo representing the Cane Corso breed in Working Group: Karma earned her AKC Champion title out of the 6-9 & 9-12 month puppy classes in only a couple months of showing since she earned her first point in Miami in December. Thanks to all involved, especially to Daniel Sanchez and Vanessa Lanz-Sanchez for handling her and Brian Martin for breeding her!
