Funny story - think I've been at too many dog shows!!
Turned on TV just as the black lab is being shown - my husband asked if I knew that dog - said, yes, it was RJ and Joy. He said, "boy, you are good" and I replied -its only because I reconized Joy's legs, socks and sneakers!!!y
Mega Congrats to his owner! Group 1st with a black Lab is not an easy thing to do. Funny, I missed the judging of Sporting, but when they showed the winners of the classes that had been judged, my husband said "whose black Lab won?" I said I don't know, but if it won the Group, it was almost certainly shown by Joy. Sure enough, when BIS came up, who did I see jogging in the ring, but Joy with RJ. Congrats to all involved with this dog. He is a lovely representation of the breed!!!
