July 29, 2007 Limestone City Obedience & Kennel Club
 
Blue got BEST OF WINNERS - 4 Points toward his CKC Championship Title

I wasn't expecting great things with Blue. He'd lost ALL his coat, & was entered against stiff competition. Internationally respected All Breed Professional Handler, GRAEME BURDON, agreed to handle Blue as a personal favour, despite never working with Blue before. He took time to groom Blue to his satisfaction & worked with him so they'd get used to one another. Graeme intentionally entered the show ring area just before the event began. Graeme presented Blue like he was the star attraction. He moved him out beautifully, getting Blue to show his full stride. Graeme got Blue WINNERS DOG.

Prior obligations meant Graeme couldn't handle Blue any further. Professional Handler, COLLEEN TINLIN, showing Graeme professional courtesy, handled Blue in the Best of Breed Competition where Blue won BEST OF WINNERS.

The judge awarding Blue his 4 POINTS -  Australian Judge, MS. M. MERCHANT.

Many thanks to everyone for their help showing Blue so well & to Judge Merchant for recognizing his qualities & awarding him points.

June 23rd & 24th, 2007 - Canine Federation of Canada Show 

Blue entered his first 4 Canine Federation of Canada Conformation Shows on June 23rd & 24th, 2007. Blue turned one year old the day after the shows. He was judged against British Golden Retriever Conformation Standards. Although he recieved Excellent Qualifications under all 4 Judges he was still to young to meet the Federation's requirements, so was unable to recieve his Official title that day.
 
I very much appreciate & thank each Judge for the time taken to go over every dog in the show, providing written comments on each, no matter where they placed.

Columbian Judge Mrs. Denys Janssen
