congratulations to 2 New pickwick championS!

Big congratulations to Mr. Drysdale (Pickwick's Mr. High Falutin') and Eliza (Pickwick's Too Generous to Trifel With) for finishing their AKC championships this April, 2024!

It's always fun "finishing" (completing their championships) at local shows here in Alabama. Mr. Drysdale won Winners Dog every day he entered in the classes (out of Bred By class) in Columbiana beating out some really nice dogs. He also won Best of Winners and Best of Breed Owner Handler. Eliza won Winners Bitch a couple of days as well, plus Best of Opposite Sex and then several amazing awards like Winners Bitch, Best of Breed Owner Handler, Best Bred By, and even 1st Place in the Bred By Exhibitor Toy Group in Montgomery, AL and 4th place in the OH Toy Group. It is rare that both Jeff and Amy are able to attend a show together because of work schedules and kennel duty with the other members of the grumble so we had to attempt a win photo with both Drysdale and Eliza the day they each won Winners. Good thing the photographer didn't choose the photo when Drysdale was inappropriately sniffing Eliza's back end. lol.

Beatrix also contributed to the grand collection of ribbons and wins, winning Best of Breed in the 4-6 Beginner Puppy Class each day, plus placements in the Toy Group (including 1st place one day!) To quote the judge, she was a rockstar and rocked the ring!

Each day she got better and better and by the last day she was like a pro! She was such a fast learner and enjoyed meeting all the different dogs and people.

We failed to post Eliza's wins last month in Jackson, Mississippi which included Best of Breed, Best of Winners, Best of Breed Handler, against some tough competition. Here she is in Jackson, MS:

And then the month before that, in February, she won a huge win against a huge lineup in Atlanta under judge Randy Garren, including Best of Opposite, Best of Breed Owner Handler, and Best of Winners.

Eliza just needs 1 more single point and then she will become CH Pickwick's Too Generous to Trifle With. Hopefully, she will finish in Montgomery next week!
