Bailey and Sharon Lyons at the Nationals

Photographer Alex Aristei happened to be staying at the hotel in Kansas during the Dalmatian Club of America Nationals last month (April, 2009). Yesterday he posted a number of photos he took while there on his blog, which can be found at Dalmatians at the Holidome. Above is his picture of member Sharon Lyons (right) and her granddaughter, Bailey.  While competing at the Nationals, Sharon’s JJ Leyton Luzio Mountain, “Luzio” took 3rd place in the Open Black Dog class!

Janet & Moira home after her third major!

I was very pleased, not to mention surprised, when Moira, Shamrock N Erin’s Nothin’ Like a Dame (co-owned by me and Jackie Quinn), went Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a three-point major today at Bucks County Kennel Club under Judge Robert R. Frost. She showed beautifully…one of her good days! This makes her third major! Thirteen points down…only two to go! While I wait for the photographer’s picture, I had Chris snap this one out in the back yard when I got home.

Beth Johnson’s Kona, Erin N’ Gibson’s Summer Treasure, took Reserve Winners Bitch. Good girl, Kona! She’s due for that final major!!!

I’m just getting the Dalmatian Club of Greater New York website up and running. In addition to the pages I’ve created, I’ve added this blog so that members can have their triumphs in the show, obedience and agility rings posted. In the future, I’ll be posting all the winners from our club’s specialties, supported entries and sweepstakes. In addition, if you’ve just had a win that you’d like to have posted here, send me the information, and a picture if you have it, to wins@dcgny.org.
