NOVICE BITCH CLASS

Amorosa's Llego La India  "India"

&

Canadian CH. Amorosa's Ortona Harbour "Marina" 

India is the first bitch in the photo above, handled by Karen Mammano

It was pouring again, after two lovely days of sun. India has shown only twice prior to the national.

She like her brother Mac are naturals, I see that coming from her mother Nina, who gets it from Kongo.

Its a large class of eleven lovely girls, India is sixth and Marina is ninth in this photo.

Amorosa's Llego La India (Show & Nina Simone).....Can.CH.Amorosa's Ortona Harbour (Show & Tina Turner)

We had a handler on India, because she is a Velcro dog. When I take her in the ring she leans

against me with her head on my thigh. I believe she gets this from her grandpa, Kongo.

I'm sure Karen couldn't resist kissing India. She has that kissable face and attitude.

BRED BY EXHIBITOR BITCH CLASS

Amorosa's Imperial Jade CGC  "Jade"

Jade was in a large class of 12, in which the breeders exhibit ladies bred by them.

It is such an honor to be able to present and be Jade's breeder.

The judge looks over her line up, before she makes her cuts.

Jade is asked to do another down and back

Then around

Jade makes the cut of the final 6 lovely girls ;)

The judges final cut, goes around as a group. Jade pictured at the end.

Jade did not place in her class. But we showed our best and had fun ;)

I think the fact that both Jade and I could stand to loose 10lbs, was against us....lol

 Jade and I have never exhibited together, this was our first time.

We worked together like a dream and we are meant to be a team.

Jade will continue to be shown exclusively from the Bred By class.

Many thanks to Richard Mendes & Laurie Bauman

for taking these magnificent photo's of beautiful Jade.

Ok, the bitch judging is over and now later in the evening we are off to the Brown bag/Auction.

Thank You Dorothy, Kathy Luce & Kathy Derench for all your hard work in brining such a

large Brown Bag event together. I had a blast and more so, Peggy Vivinetto and I

managed to get the HUGE box of wonderful items I won, back to my room ;)

This is the wonderful fine arts auction item, we won.

Its a photo taken at Kathy Derench's  home of rescued Newfs.

With the exception of the big guy on the far left.

He was allowed to participate because it's his backyard.

Saturday's judging: Best of Breed, where 3 of (Kongo X Tina Turner) kids competed
