Thank you to all the judges who recognized this young dog's type and soundness.
We are ever grateful to Ginger Smith and Margaret and Herb Shappard for producing such a beautiful boy and for their support. A special thanks to Susan Wise, whose patience and expert handling guided spike to finish with four majors. Susan, you are the best! Since Spike finished at the tender age of 12 months, Spike and Susan will be in the breed ring occasionally while we wait for him to mature. |
