Upcoming June Specialty

I need $$$!!! I hate to beg, but otherwise I may have to borrow or steal, if my generous friends don’t help out with donations for the trophies for the upcoming Specialty in June. Reserve your acknowledgement space in the official catalog, buy sending me your donation as soon as possible (like when you read this). Best of Breed is only $40, with Best Opposite and Best of Winners going for $35. Winners Dog and Winners Bitch are $30. First place in each of the classes is $20. In Sweepstakes, the BIS and BOS are only $25. First place in each of the Sweeps categories is $15.

Our Sweeps judge is Bob Wire from Northern California. Breed judge is D. R. Holloway. We’ll have our usual pot-luck luncheon at Brookside following the judging.
