CH HighGard N Rockin’ Heart’s Blast Away
“Kimber” 10mo

This wonderful girl finished her championship at only 8mo old with 3 consecutive majors and is getting ready to go into the specials ring! She has quite a bit of filling out still to do but I am pretty happy with how she is maturing.

A Spartacus Niece and Giotto Granddaughter!
She sure has some big paw prints to fill! 🥇

BEST. DAY. EVER.
Our morning started out with Kimber being awarded WB for her third consecutive 4pt major! Then Henry was awarded WD, BOW, and BOS over a special for his third consecutive major but this time a 5 pointer! These wins finished BOTH of their AKC Championships from the Bred-By Class!

For the Basenji Specialty, Benny was awarded RWD to the 5pt Major from the 6-9mo puppy class! He also received BOB puppy and got a Puppy Group 1! Not bad for his first show!
Viva was RWB to the Major as well!

THEN! Rush was awarded Best of Breed in specialty show! Making this now his second specialty win! AND he also received a Hound Group 4! Thank you so much Judge Vicki Abbott!!
