GOOD NEWS FROM AMI ROMANELLI in Florida!!!
I am so proud of Jakers... hopefully he will get his
last major at the next show so he will be finished in
AKC as well. Jake had a wonderful weekend, he took a 4 point
major win going Winners Dog and Best of Winners under Judge
Mrs. Rosemary Shoreman. Jake was presented to Winners
by Erica Escalada and I took him back in for BOW... it
was great to be able to watch him ringside, Erica
always does such a wonderful job!

Congratulations on another great show weekend for the T Crew!
We went to the Jupiter (Florida) -Tequesta Dog Club AKC show this weekend and are happy
to report that Major
(Thornapple First Class owned by Anna-Lena & Niklas Munkvall, Sweden)
went BOBP at the Match on Friday night. Unfortunately, Erica was in the junior ring
 and we missed taking Major back in for Group. On Saturday, Erica & Diesel took 2nd Place
in Open Senior under Judge Albert Berrios. On Sunday, Erica & Diesel took 1st Place in
Open Senior under Judge Clayton Haviland, IV.  And congrats again to Ami for Jake's
major win! It was great seeing them at the show.  Hope all is well.  Take care, Dianne

NEWS FROM TOMOMI IN JAPAN!
Hello! In Japan,the rainy season is over soon, and hot summer comes over.
I was with Poker & Daisy (Willy granddaughter) of my home and went to the
sea today.There is the very clean sea in the immediate place from my home.
And there is the Pure river. I played in the sea, but will take it to the river
tomorrow today. Because Dixie likes swimming, I look forward to that I can go
together if I come to Japan.To her an embrace and a kiss! Thank you,Tomomi

Dixie can't wait to join Poker & Daisy for a romp on the beach in Japan!
 Hurry up Miss Dixie!  Please come into season, so you can be bred to Shamba & fly to Tomomi in Japan!
