Johnny was very good on Wednesday Story by Karen Lee

Winners Dog, Festiva Aladdin Johnny Be Good

came from the open class and was proudly owner-

handled by Kelly Riney. “Jay“ has had a full schedule at

this national as he ran in the AKC lure trial and earned

two points on Sunday. After a bit of rest, he was ready

to enter the ring and show his best.

A flashy red brindle and white dog just 18 months

old, his ring deportment was that of a seasoned cam-

paigner. Owner Kelly Riney stated that he has already

enjoyed considerable success, needing just two singles

now to complete his AKC championship. This award

was his third major win.

Johnny was bred by Diana M Farthing and Dionne

Butt. He is Kelly’s personal dog who delights them at

home with his personality. He lives with Kelly, who

describes him as, “a dog who lives his life to make peo-

ple laugh, and who loves helping to raise her puppies.”

Reserve was Bo-Bett’s Pajama Party, a striking fawn

brindle and white 9-12 puppy owned by Richard Metts,

bred by Carol Harris and Wendy Winans, and handled

by Justin Smithey. “PJ” finished his championship with

this major win.

It was smooth sailing to Best in Veteran Sweepstakes

for GCh. Sporting Fields Beach Baby. "Sands", as she is

known to her friends, was bred by Debbie Butt and

Amanda Giles and is co-owned with her breeders by Da-

vid and Gina Samuelson. She was beautifully handled by

David from the 7-10 bitch class.

Judge Cynthia Unger said that Veteran Sweeps is bar

none her favorite event at the National. This showcase of

our venerable seniors illustrates where we have been as a

breed and gives us a model to aspire to for the future.

Cynthia commented that the quality of her entry was ex-

ceptional, which made judging tonight very difficult

as each class was full of lovely dogs. "I love the old people

best" said Unger.

Owner David Samuelson commented that now that

Sands is almost nine, she only comes out for very special

occasions. She loves to show, but her favorite thing to do

is to snuggle under the covers with her best-loved person

Gina. This was exactly what Sands was off to do after her

win photo session was over tonight!

On Tuesday: Maple captures top award in both Triathlon and Versatility

In two highly com-

petitive fields that

require the dog and

handler to train and

compete in multiple

areas—combinations

of agility, coursing,

rally and confor-

mation—Terrena’s

High Pitched took

first place in both

Triathlon and Versa-

tility. Maple is

owned by Diane and

David Bolinger, and

was shown by Di-

ane. Diane said just

completing all the

events was a huge,

but satisfying expe-

rience.
