Shaun is now a Champion!

Today was the day: four more points to put him over the top at the 2011 EBC in Washington state. The EBC is the largest Basenji show of the year. He competes again on Sunday ( a new class maybe) and then I go pick him up…

Here is a shot from yesterday with co-breeder Katie Campbell congratulating co-breeder and handler, MaryK Quinnett, with an excited Shaun looking on. Shaun had just won first place in the Maturity contest at the EBC.

Shaun competes again today. So far he has won Best in Maturity on Friday, WD/BOW Saturday to finish his Championship, and also wins Best BBE in Breed and a BBE Group 3.

Definitely getting a steak dinner this evening once its all over!

‎$6 worth of fancy celebration steak, lovingly cooked outdoors on the BBQ grill, chilled to perfection and cut diagonally with restaurant style presentation: gone in four seconds…
