Congratulations to new Ch. Benayr Nick of Time, Winners Dog at the ATCA National Specialty show in St Louis.  Nick is a handsome boy, owned by Mauri Porter, who acquired him as a show prospect from me.
Nick's show career went quickly!  He finished his championship in a total of six shows on Sunday of the St Louis weekend in the toughest of national competition.  Nick will begin his specials career with his owner in 2013.

The January shows in Portland, Or have come and gone. Despite the terrible weather we managed to get there. The enjoyable week was topped by three Best of Breed wins for Ch Benayr Blue Danube. River is a fun dog to show and loves the show environment and fan attention. He will continue his specials career this year, always owner handled.
