As many of our regular readers know, each September my friend Karen and I embark on a two week trip to Michigan and Pennsylvania to show our dogs, culminating on the first Sunday in October with the most prestigious terrier event on the planet – Montgomery County Kennel Club.
This year, I took my own AmGCHCanCH Minuteman Life Below Zero, who captured the first specialty we competed at in Michigan, but she was soon eclipsed by a young male I’ve been handling for a friend from Osaka, Japan sired by my 2019 Montgomery Best of Breed winner, AmCanGrCh Minuteman Colder Weather.
Luca and I, waiting our turn in the Montgomery group ring.
AmGCH Cherry Field’s Super Fly not only captured five of seven shows he was entered in, he repeated his sire’s 2019 win, going Best of Breed at the American Miniature Schnauzer Club National Specialty, placing fourth in the terrier group at Montgomery to defeat nearly 1000 dogs.
With Hiromi, Luca and some of the loot.
We were back in Saskatchewan on Tuesday night, but it’ll be another day or two before I’m fully caught up on sleep and back to my regular routine.
Thank you once again to our guest bloggers – Francisco, Dennis, OJ, Robert, David and Brian – who donate so much of their time to support the site and diversify the content, and keep our readers informed and amused while I escape to this peculiar alternate universe with my dogs, where the news of the world seldom penetrates, and the only politics under discussion are a judge’s choices on a muddy horse grounds in Pennsylvania.
