CLEO TAKES BEST OF BREED & FINISHES HER AKC GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP ON DAY 1 IN RALEIGH, NC! – 03.21.2012

Today is a happy day for Team Cleo! Congratulations and thank you to my amazing handling team, Daniel Sanchez & Vanessa Lanz-Sanchez, for showing this special girl from her very first show point in December to today’s impressive Best of Breed win in Raleigh, NC under Judge Dawn Hansen.  This win earned her an AKC Grand Champion title at 13 months of age.

Special thanks goes to Yulia Washington for breeding her, Kathi Wisdom for whelping her litter, raising, loving & training her and to Steel Campbell & JoAnne Campbell, who own her poppa, CH Ace.  Also, thanks to all the judges who contributed to Cleo’s success, listed below!  Not bad for a puppy showing for just over 14 weeks!  Cleo will now be taking a break from the conformation show ring and come home to relax and take up space on the sofa!
