Congratulations to Wayne Moore. His dog, Jayhawker's Koda Suta (Kody), earned his first major at the Superstition Kennel Club show in early March! A few weeks later, he was named Best in Sweepstakes at the Indian Nations Brittany Club specialty show. Kody is handled by Sara Taylor. Most recently, Kody earned 2 more points at the Flagstaff Kennel Club on the lead of Jackie Nicol & Margaret Sauceman who were helping out while Sara traveled on business.
Sunquest's Leather N Lace (Stevie) has been doing a bit of winning lately with her friends, Jackie Nicol & Sara Taylor. Jackie put 4 points on her in addition to the 2 points she earned with her owner. Most recently, she traveled with Sara Taylor to Oklahoma City where she was Winners Bitch/Best of Winners at the Indian Nations Brittany Club specialty show for a 4 point major, and Winners Bitch at the Muskogee Kennel Club show for another 2 points. She needs just a 3 point major to finish, however, Stevie has now gone to Kansas for "field trial camp" so it will probably be a little while before she finishes her show championship. Stevie is owned by Hank & Dee Hartnek.
Ch. Sunquest's Marsport Manhattan (Max), owned by Hank & Dee Hartnek, won a 20 dog Gun Dog stake at the Indian Nations Brittany Club trial in October 2008. This brings him to within 2 points of achieving his Dual Championship. |
