BEST IN SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• 

  This is the text I received from Ellen Perry, Governor”s fabulous handler, about the day”s outcome. At first I thought it was a tease but then realized, Ellen does not have a mean sense of humor and he really won!!! I still smile all over and in my insides when I see this picture. Of course, it is my background on my cell phone.

  Governor has had a incredible year.  He has been the number 1 bichon in breed for the first six months of 2012.  He won a best in show specialty (BISS) on Sunday May 27, 2012 under the respected judge and Bichon breeder, Mrs. Deedy Sorenson at the Western Pennsylvania Bichon Club (hosted by Trumbull County Kennel Club, Inc).  What an honor!  On August 11, 2012, at the Arkansas Kennel Club show held in Little Rock, Arkansas, Governor won breed under Mr. Cledith M. Wakefield, a Group 1 under Mrs. Kathleen M. Grosso and Best in Show (BIS)  under Mrs. Doris Elaine Werdermann.  Then on Sunday, August 12, 2012, Governor won the breed and a group 1 under Mr. Vincent T. Grosso and reserve Best in Show under Mr. William Cunningham.   Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a Fabulous Weekend!  Ellen and Governor———-You absolutely ROCK!
