Status: offline 		Please bear with me while I brag a little...one of the dogs I raised and showed is going to the prestigious WESTMINSTER show this week!

I bought him as a puppy, raised him, showed him locally, then sold him to someone who would show him nationally because I knew  I didn't have the resources to do so myself and he was too nice not to go to the big shows.

I am SO proud and just had to brag. Hopefully he wins the breed and gets to be on TV for the Group judging!

Please everyone send him good luck wishes! He's an american eskimo dog and his name is Ch. Kort-mars Sparkling Diamond, call name Gandalf!

Here's a pic: isn't he gorgamous!

A very beautiful dog it is, and I am sure he knows who his "real" momma is.

My kids generally do not.

Yeah, it's a MINOR point, but there it is.

I'm headed for a "Westminster Party" this week, My dog isn't there but he's out campaigning for his Championship - perhaps Westminster will be in his future one day, who knows?

Our breed club is hosting a dinner party for the club, and we'll all be watching the Group judging into the wee hours, no doubt!  I'll probably be late to work Wednesday morning!

I'll be watching your Group for Gandalf, fingers crossed!

Good luck to your dog! Do you show just akc or ukc also? Gandalf did UKC mostly as a puppy and during his first year...AKC competition is a bit stiffer I think and he was sort of a late bloomer, so he didn't start that until after he was two.

I hate that they only show the group judging on TV...I wish they showed all the breed rings as well, but I guess that would take forever. He's up against some tough competition, but even if he doesn't make it to the group ring and  TV, I'm still just proud that he got invited in the first place!
