Showing Our Joy

Verity had not attended an Irish Wolfhound Association of the West Coast specialty show since she won Best of Breed in 2008.
On July 28-29, 2011, she returned.
This time she brought her daughter, Rose, with her.

Rose won first place in the 12-18 month puppy bitch class on both days of this year's back-to-back specialties under two breeder judges.

Then on the second day, she won Reserve Winner's Bitch!
We are deeply appreciative to Breeder-Judge Tom Powers.

We thank Breeder-Judge Dr. Lynn Simon for his kind remarks on Thursday about Rose's conformation.

Rose had fun!
We thank our handlers Bill Buell & Erin Hines.
And her mother, who loves being with her.

On Friday, we were again thrilled when Mr. Powers chose Verity as his champion select bitch, earning a major toward her Grand Champion title.

There's more!
Verity went back into the ring with Rose and her handsome son Colin, and won Brood Bitch.

While at the specialty, Verity also earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.

So, now she's BSS CH Glenamadda Starkeeper Verity, CGC.
