Platinum Yorkies Attended Events

Gidget at the Georgia Classic cluster shows, Sept '08

The Georgia Classic cluster. Luke and "Gidget" won third, and Kirsten and "Ricky" won fourth in the Toy Group on September 20th, under Judge Mrs. Charlotte Clem McGowen. I was so fortunate to be presented with this honorable win with two of my dogs. Also in the toy group was the Affenpinser and Brussels Griffon which are ranked number one and two toy. The group competion at this show was very tough.

Sep 7th 2008 Chicago Specialties. Well all shows must come to an end. As Kirsten and Ava load up to leave the show, I enjoyed some one-on-one time with Chandler. (Left) Lisa Brigewater gave Chandler some bunny ears.
