Manhattan Kennel Club, Friday August 23, 2013

There was a judge change for Havanese.  The new judge was Mrs. Lesley E. Hiltz.  Thought about pulling, but didn't really know anything about this judge, so figured, can't win if you don't play.  We should have gone with our first thought.  Team Scheiris was pretty much walked today.  Should have left KeKe in and pulled the rest.

Photos of today's BOB bitch, CH TIGERLILY N ROMIGH'S CHANTILLY LACE. TS136367/02. 10/14/2012. Bitch. BREEDER: Carol Hutton & Carolyn A Hutton. By Ch Angelheart Heatwave At Tigerlily-Gch Amor's Dance Paws Of Tigerlily. OWNER: Patty Romigh & Jack Romigh & Carol Hutton taken last weekend.
Is it just me, or does this dog have a really low tail set? 
Follow the rise to the rump, then look at the drop off to the tail.
From the AKC Standard:  The tail is high-set and arches forward up over the back. It is plumed with long, silky hair. 







Bichons went a little better with the same judge.  Talking with Mary Ann Clark yesterday about how much we liked the bitch special she had out, Mary Ann said that she only needed 1 more win over a special to finish her Grand Championship.  She was not entered for the entire weekend, and today was her last show for a while.  So, to be nice and help out a friend, we moved up Sparkle, one of the girls that finished last week and did not intend to show today.  We had someone else show her.  Well, that went as planned, Mary Ann's bitch took the breed, thus getting her last win over a special, got her Grand Championship.
