Grand Halo

Anybody have one of those Easy Buttons?  You know, the ones from Staples?  If you do, go ahead and press it and say it with me, “That was easy.”   We are referring to Halo’s Grand Championship.  Halo and her handler extraordinaire, Sarah Wintrone, went Select Bitch today for Halo’s 5th Grand Champion major to finish her GCH title!  Today’s win was at the inaugural Sporting Dog Club of Colorado Spring’s group specialty show under judge Judith Brown.

So with today’s win…Halo finished her Grand Championship with these stats:

-Multiple Breed wins over ranked specials

-5 majors

-7 consecutive days of showing with no losses for GCH points

-14.5 months old (finished CH at 13.5) — such a baby still!

It also means she beat both Indy and Karma to this title!  Our very first Grand Champion!  Hopefully, it doesn’t go to her head 🙂

Our gratitude to Sarah for doing such a great job with Baby Halo and of course to her breeders, Kathy & Sarah, for sending home the sweet orange collared girl with us!

And Halo’s GCH is another goal off the list!  Probably our last one of the year as we are not planning on any more competitive events (excluding agility) until after the new year.
