We had a wonderful time at the Specialty in Bloomington, IL. Hosted so well by Penny Duffee and her crew. Fun and great competition was had by all. Arden Holst did a wonderful job judging Sweeps. This was Ellies first show at just over 6 months. She did a great job in the ring although she has some growing to do. Ellie also helped her daddy, Preston win "Stud dog" at the Specialty. Preston also went BOB on Saturday and took a Group 2! Magic showed well with all the quality Specials, his day will come. Cinder also did well in some large classes of very good dogs. Best of all, Kathi Dvorak (Magics breeder) and Jodi Moline (Ellies breeder) both attended this show. We had a great time grooming together, I learned a lot. We also had a wonderful dinner with them at one of the local Restaurants. It was nice to meet and talk with all the SS owners.
