March 2 - Kris Hayko reports:

Mike's Maverick took 2nd in 6-9 mon sweepstakes class. He had had the 1st place spot but pooped out in the end!! I knew I should of used the cheese bait for him!!;)

My girl Heidi took 4th place in regular 6-9 bitch class out of a 17 class entry. I'll take it for now! Mike did a great job talking baby talk to the pups I wish I could have video taped it for you all!! Heidi also was best Sr. puppy at the puppy match on March 15!

March 2 - This is Vilma narrating:

I was very pleased that my 3 1/2 yr old girl Latte took High In Trial and High Combined both days, earning her 7th and 8th UDX legs. Also a couple more RAE legs.

In Novice, my 15 month old Buzz had a 195 on Friday to win Novice B for his 2nd CD leg (got a little lost on the finish and checked out the steward's table.) Then on Sat he was working a 196.5, when he sat up on the down......he said he just had to get a better look at some of those irresistibly sexy girl Berners! He did finish his
RA and get his first RE leg tho.

As told by Jeannie Bussey on March 1, 2009:

Our Yaeger finished yesterday at the Wisconsin Regional specialty with a 5 point major under Sharon Smith. The entry was 175 dogs, there were 47 class males entered.

He is now a champion and Bill earned all the points with Yaeger himself with the exception of two points I put on him!!!!

On April 27, 2008, Crush took Group 4 at the Ft. St.Clair Kennel Club.

Crush is owned, handled and loved by Candy and Wally Konicky.

A very big and hearty Congratulation to Sammie (Holmes) on her 8th Birthday - you go, girl !!! You don't look a day over 6 !!!
