Thornapple Give Me Chills "Macy" (full
sister to Icy & Ringo) pictured with a Puppy Group placement at the Feb 07
Chicago International.
Macy was EXCUSED at the Marion Kennel Club Show Friday, May 18, under Judge Dr.
Robert J. Berndt, for lack of merit. Because Macy & Nandi were the only 2
bitches entered, Nandi did not receive a point for her winners bitch win. Dr.
Berndt explained, after judging, that he excused Macy because" she is too
square.
Because she is square, she will not be able to turn." We measured Macy ...
she is 5-6" longer then she is tall. Macy was awarded a Select In Futurity
at our
2007 USASA Nationals under Breeder Judge Alan McCorkle. Macy has 2 wins with
points from the puppy class. Her last judge raved about what a nice puppy
she is!
All in a day at the dog show!!!
:)
NEWSFLASH! Macy takes Reserve Winners Bitch to her full litter sister,
