News from the final Hanford show day. Priscilla was "Winners Bitch" on Thursday and Saturday. She was "Reserve Winners Bitch" on Friday and Sunday. Not a bad weekend. Only one point was earned this weekend because it was a small gathering of mastiff dogs. Archie didn't show because of the limited numbers, he'll be competing when there are enough dogs for a major. Dexter, owned by Paul DaLuz, was third on Saturday, not a bad showing for the first time in the ring. We didn't have any pictures taken this weekend, I'll wait until there are more mastiffs entered.

Good news from Del Mar.  Archie is the "Winners Dog" at the Silver Bay
Kennel Club's Saturday show.  Priscilla is the "Winners Bitch" from the same
show and the same day.  Priscilla then went on to to beat her father and was
awarded "Best of Winners".  They each received a point for their efforts.
That puts Archie ahead in the race over Priscilla to become a champion first.
Archie now has 12 points and one major, of the two needed.  Three more
points; which is the minimum needed to be a major, and Archie is a champion.
Archie will now only be shown in the larger dog shows where there will be
majors.  Priscilla has four points now, with no majors, but she has beat her
dad at the last two shows they have been entered in together.  First dog to
receive 15 points and two majors becomes a champion.

I have attached a picture of Archie's grandson Malachy:

He is with his mother Maiden and he's 3 weeks old at the time of the picture.  Malachy is going to be another of the Mtn Oak N Ringsides line that will be in the dog show "Winners Circle".  Watch for more information and pictures about Malachy.

This week we travel to Hanford for the Sequoia and Kings Kennel Club shows.
There aren't majors at these shows so Priscilla will be the only dog to show
off.  She may meet her litter mate Dexter who is making his dog show debut.
Archie gets this weekend off and we'll wait until we can find a major for
him to compete in.
