2010
April 2010 not my best year, Tarzan had been battling bladder stones since December of 2009 he was out of his suffering and I missed showing a nice adult male that loved to be in the ring. In August of 2010 Hannah at Blue Diamond showdogs, was gracious enough to let me show Endeavor. He started out with a bang! First show weekend he won Best of Breed Back to back shows, with two majors. He has done well all through 2010 finishing out in top ten allbreed stats for the DDB and in the top 25 for breed, he attended the Eukanuba Invitationals for the top 25 DDB in Long Beach California.
December 2010 Eukanuba Invitationals for the top 25, what an honor, I got to bring Vigoreauxs Saleen, it was such a good experience, and traveled with friends.
February 2011 Saleen and I attended the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City, we had a wonderful roadtrip, touring part of the eastern coast, and on Feb 15 recieved an Award of Merit from Judge Burt Yamada,. Saleen is the first female DDB to recieve this honor at Westminster.
