LOVE THAT JIMMY FALLON
'Jimmy'
Wins Herding Group 6-8 month old pup class at the Eukanuba 'Puppy Spectacular'
held after the Rose City Classic AKC show in Portland Oregon recently. It was a very fun
show and interesting format. Our breed was in the Herding Group since there was not a Misc. group
There were over 125 entries of 4-16 month old puppies!
Thanks to Eukanuba, judge Sammie Lewis and co breeder Margo McKee, 'Too Minis'!
Special thanks to 'Jimmy' for being a good sport on that very long day!
