What a day… and my heart is absolutely full!
Some days remind you exactly why you pour your heart and soul into this wonderful breed.
Tucker – Ch. Aroha Hills The Boy Wonder (Lilly x Shadow), won 1st in Champion Class before going on to be awarded Reserve Best in Show (RBISS) at ASCEG. I couldn't be prouder of this special boy! Congratulations to the beautiful Rain and Nicolaas Kotze on a very well-deserved BISS. It was an honour to be standing beside you in the final lineup. 👏🏆
But the day belonged to my incredible veteran girl, Lilly.
She walked into the ring and reminded everyone why she is so special, taking:
✨ 2 Point CC
✨ Best Veteran in Show – All Breeds under judge Beata Petkevich
There is something incredibly special about watching a veteran still command the ring with such grace, presence, and heart. Lilly, you continue to make me proud beyond words.
To everyone who has supported, encouraged, and cheered us on over the years—thank you. Days like these make all the early mornings, long drives, and hard work so worthwhile.
Here's to celebrating our dogs and the friendships this sport has given us. On to the next show!
📷 Thank you Melanie Nicolau and Nicolaas Kotze
