This would be the first day of the All Breed Show. Due to the Specialty, entries had large numbers, competitors/entries had come from Texas , Georgia , Virginia , Michigan , Wisconsin, Quebec , Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. It was exciting to see so many quality specimans of the breed. Brian and I , Linda and Marilyn, were excited to see Chrystal and Lex "in action" in the ring. The four of us would be together for the first time to watch Lex. Our afternoon began with winning Best of Breed, then to our delight a GROUP 1st win under Wendy Maisey. You can well imagine our excitement as we went outside to watch LEX in the Best in Show ring under Ms. Maisey. What a priviledge for Linda, Brian and I to watch our home-bred boy in this ring. As Lex's breeders it could not get any better.....or could it ?
WE could not believe our eyes as Wendy Maisey pointed to LEX as her BEST IN SHOW dog for the day. EVERYONE at the show was ecstatic about his win. We were delerious with happiness......a DREAM COME TRUE FOR ALL OF US ! For us at Dalnavert Kennels, it was our second BIS since July 25th, 1975.....a long time coming and deservedly so!
