A New Champion


First a note of background information: In order to become an AKC Champion a dog must win 15 points, and the number of points for each show is determined by the number of dogs of the same breed that are entered and show up for the show. In those 15 points the dog must also win 2 majors (a show with 3 or more points) from 2 different judges.)

Russ attended 5 dog shows. His second showing day he won a 4 point major and a Best of Breed. His second show he won a 4 point major. His third show he won a 4 point major. (Are you sensing a theme?) His fourth show he won a 4 point major and a Best of Breed. So I couldn't be happier to announce that in 5 short shows he won four majors from four different judges. Russ is an AKC Champion dog!

But folks, he may be a champion but he isn't completely house broke!

Wow, what an accomplishment! Congratulations. What’s housebreaking when you’re a champion and you have a spot bot. Joy

Well, as the other person who has to run the spot bot, it is a pain...
The family missed you while you were gone,but I got to take down most of the dog gates...

Congratulations to the whole Gibson Clan!! I want to thank you all for going along for the ride with me--when I said can I show him a few times and Kim asked so what does this entail? I said let's chat a little!!!!

PS---you forgot to mention that not only did he take BOB but he did it once over a group placing champion and the 2nd time over the #3 dog in the country and two group placing champions!

Thanks again for the thrill,
Auntie Cindy
