| Sam is a littermate to Autumn (see below). I handled him for the first time at the White Mountain Kennel Club show, and went winner's dog with him, but his sister Autumn beat him major. I was thrilled to show him again in Flagstaff the next month and take Winners Dog/Best of Winners for that final major. We went back in the ring together on Sunday with Sam as a new champion and won Best of Breed under Judge Patricia A. Gellerman. Sam was bred by his owners, Teresa A. Hodge, Patrick W. Smith, & Margaret E. Hodge. |

| CH Del Sol's Irresistible Magic, OA, AXJ Prescott Arizona Kennel Club September 13, 2009 Judge Col Joe B. Purkhiser Winners Dog/Best of Winners/Best of Opposite Sex Owned by: Carol A. Roberts |
| I was able to handle Sirus as a favor to my herding instructor one weekend in hopes of getting the last points necessary to finish his championship. This was my first experience showing an Australian Shepherd, or any a herding breed for that matter, and I had a great time! Sirus did a great job for me and although we didn't win our class on Saturday, we came back on Sunday to go WD/BOW/BOS for the final 2 points for his AKC Championship! |
| DC Hallam's Phorest of Bekaby, MC, RN, LCX Silver State Kennel Club April 6, 2008 Judge Mrs. Sari Brewster Tietjen Winners Dog/Best of Winners Owned by: Robert Newman, Dominic Carota, & Stephen Sipperly |
| This was my very first time showing a Pharaoh Hound - and I'm grateful to Robert for allowing me to take his boy into the ring! I had already decided that I was getting a Pharaoh Hound puppy, so this was a great experience for me to have a preview of what it would be like to show one. Phorest was a very good boy and showed his heart out for me, even with his dad in the ring in front of me with another dog! |

| CH Wingfoot Desert Autumn Sage Arizona White Mountain Kennel Club May 8, 2010 Judge Mrs. Denise Arlynne Ross Winners Bitch/Best of Winners/Best of Breed Owned by: Teresa A Hodge, Patrick W Smith, & Margaret E. Hodge |
| I was honored when Teresa asked me to show Autumn for her at the White Mountain show - Autumn is a beautiful Saluki bitch that just needed that one last major to finish her championship. Due to a break from showing, Autumn was a bit older than her competition (she is 9 years old), but she showed great for me and I was thrilled to win that major and finish her championship the very first time we went in the ring together! Autumn was bred by her owners, Teresa A. Hodge, Patrick W. Smith, & Margaret E. Hodge. |

| Chiastolite's Gold'N Emerald Of The Desert,SC Superstition Kennel Club March 5, 2011 Judge Ms. Jane M. Gentzen Winners Bitch (5-point major) Owned by: Rosemary Marnoch |
| I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and was thrilled to be able to handle the darling LunaBella at a cluster of shows in Texas. Luna belongs to a friend of mine and is a wonderful, SMART, little girl! Luna and I went into the group ring each day and we had a great time there!! She really impressed Judge Long Smith and was awarded a Group 4 Placement from the classes! |

| GCH Deerwood's Lasso The Moon, CD, RE Panhandle Kennel Club of Texas, Inc. September 2, 2010 Judge Mrs. Patti A. Long Smith Best of Breed/Group 4 Owned by: Catherine O'Donnell |
| This was the first time I showed Juweel, and boy can this bitch move! After NUMEROUS times around the ring, I was exhausted trying to keep up with her, but we were rewarded for our hard work with a 5-point major from Breeder/Judge Ms. Jane M. Gentzen. Juweel was bred by and is owned by Rosemary Marnoch. |
