DCGNY in the Ring

New member Sean McCaughley made his first appearance in Non-Sporting Group competition on Sunday, May 22, 2011 in Old Bethpage, Long Island at the Long Island Kennel Club. Erin’s Prionsa of of Tiffany, “Darcy”, was Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed! “Jane”, Sparkyanna’s Riona of Tiffany, was Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite. The judge was Sue Weis. Sean owns both Darcy and Jane and handled both of them, with only assistance in breed when a second pair of hands was necessary. While it was a thrilling day for Sean, Jane and Darcy seemed far more interested in the bait. Congratulations!

No more RWB’s for this girl! At the Trenton Kennel Club show on Sunday May 8th, 2011 (Mother’s Day), Beth Johnson’s liver bitch “Kona”, Erin N’ Gibson’s Summer Treasure CGC finished her championship going WB/BOW for her final major under Judge Inge Semenschin.

Kona is Beth’s first Champion. As many of you know, Kona has been the bridesmaid on numerous occasions, in fact so many reserves to majors that Beth has lost count at this point as well as going WB only to have the major break. So, this weekend Kona was finally the bride.

From start to finish all her points were owner handled, including a major Beth’s husband, Jason Rudolph, put on her when he brought her in for Winners Bitch at the Delaware Valley Dalmatian Club Supported Entry while Beth stayed on their other bitch. Kona loves going to dog shows and is always thrilled to be in the ring. Beth is so proud of her little Kona Bean!

Huge congratulations to Beth and Kona!

On Saturday, May 7, 2011, at Bucks County Kennel Club in Erwinna, PA, under Judge Dennis McCoy Dyson went Winners Dog, Best of Winners for a crossover three-point major. The next day at Trenton Kennel Club he took Winners Dog for another major to finish under Judge Inge Semenschin.
