we have a new pickwick champion!

Once we receive verification from AKC, we will be adding a "CH" in front of Lilibeth's name --- Pickwick's Show the World How to Smile. ​

She did such a fabulous job at the huge Cherokee Rose Cluster dog show in Atlanta, GA last Thur-Sat. Her human mama, Amy, showed her Thursday and then the fabulous handler Harry Bennett showed her Fri-Sat since Amy had a work conflict back home. 

Her brother, Luke, (Pickwick's Casanova in Disguise) also did well, winning Winners Dog!

This was the first time Lilibeth did a "stay away" but she had a blast thanks to Harry's amazing care. She did wake him up at 2:30 AM (ahem) having to use the restroom. He thinks she was just so excited with all the show happenings and new adventures she was probably holding it in. He bought her some baked chicken breast, too, since she didn't want to eat the food I had left for her. (insert eye roll lol). Harry is a handler who honestly cares about the dog's spirit ... so that the dog is beautiful from the inside out, not just outside. We have observed him handle for many years now (8?), sometimes when he doesn't even know we're watching, and he ALWAYS has a gentle hand and kind, calm spirit with every dog he shows. Here are a few shots of our beautiful Lilibeth from Atlanta.

Not only did she win Winners Bitch and Best of Winners at the Conyers show, but she also won Winners Bitch at the Greater Atlanta Pug Club Specialty. (It's a huge honor to win at a pug specialty, particularly these large ones).

And here are some other shots of our beautiful Lilibeth (this was last November, 2021, when she got to visit with her brother Myles when he came down to TN with his parents from Long Island to visit). Lilibeth is on the left in each photo.

And a few more shots of Lilibeth . . .

We'll be moving onto Rally Obedience next and finishing her tricks titles and CGC. Lilibeth truly does live up to her name "Show the World How to Smile" and just about every judge would smile at her after the 'Down and back" when Lilibeth would look up and stare a hole through them! Just like her mama, Miss Dior. Here's Lilibeth's page to keep up with her life adventures past and future.....
