Club Of America Bulletin arrived today highlighting the 2006
Nationals in Post Falls, Idaho.
Dogs judge/breeder Christie
Smith's written critiques:
... "My Winners
Dog went to Celticfrost All Tuckered Out from Thunder Bay, Ontario,
Canada. Breeder, owner handled by Joe Deleo. His head
portrayed beauty and dignity, proper textured coat, balanced
proportions, nice size and bone, good feet with thick pads and
effortless movement. He is a dog that I would love to see
sitting at the bottom of my bed when I wake in the morning and that
I could count on to get me through a snow storm. He was in
excellent condition and I loved his temperament. I was thrilled when
he went on to win Best Of Winners under Best Of Breed judge Jeanne
Nonhof."
Intersex
judge/breeder Jeanne Nonhof's written critiques: ...
"BOW to the Canadian Dog, Celticfrost All Tuckered Out who had
a wonderful week as he won an AOM at the Canadian National too.
He was also the Best Futurity Junior. It is no wonder he is
all tuckered out. Both the WD and WB excelled in type but I
felt this dog moved with more authority than the WB so that was my
decision there."
Our sincere thanks
to the judges for their respected comments and recognition of TUCKER
- it was an unforgettable event!

Kyle & Tucker)
