JSLRC Specialty
Saturday at Somerset Hills KC

Judge - Dogs & Intersex: Maureen Floyd (Trenow Labs - England)
Judge - Bitches: Tony Floyd (Trenow Labs - England)

We wish to thank the JSLRC for their invitation to us
and for the true American welcome afforded to us during both days of the show.
Despite the heat, to which we are unaccustomed, we enjoyed the days and were particularly impressed
by the sportsmanship of the exhibitors, both towards our placings and towards each other.

BEST OF BREED
Ch. Rockycreek's Sweet Liberty
(Ch. Liberty Hill Luke Jr X Ch. RockyCreek Trick or Treat CD)
Breeder: Kathy Mines, Owner: Kathy Mines & Susan Raynis
I had judged this bitch the previous day and awarded her Winners Bitch.
My husband subsequently made her Best of Winners so I was delighted to see her among the Champions today.
I still considered her the best on the day and had no hesitation in making her B.O.B. Congratulations!
