I hesitate to put this on here but I see other people are doing it so I guess I should have the same right to make an announcement.
BISS Ch. Sureshot HySpire Impressive is now a Grand Champion. At 8 years of age, Travis received all of his Grand Champion Points at Labrador Specialites by taking five Specialty BOB from the Veteran Class.
I will admit he went to Jenny Craig and 24 hr fitness for a couple of months before jumping back into competition but it paid off.
Congratulations to Travis and all at Hyspire -- including Jenny -- on a well deserved honor! And, to accomplish it from the veteran's class at specialties makes it special, indeed.
.... I will never forget that stud dog class, at the Potomac, when he and his get were on red leads! They all turned, at the exact same time and nailed it!
~ that beautiful picture is embedded in my memory!
CONGRATULATIONS Judy ... and Vonnie,Lisa and Jim too!
Congratulations, well done, just love that boy! You know I finally sewed up the big hole in my coat pocket that he nibbled last year at Mid Jersey lol!
Congratulations Judy and Travis! A little "Jenny" and a "touch of roadwork" never hurt! LOL ...My husband says that at his age Travis is just hitting his prime!
Congrats Judy and Travis!! More than all the show titles in the world, the "staying power" of a top dog who can still strut his stuff in veteran class is worth its weight in gold... both as a dog and as a producer!
Some dogs only get better with age like a fine wine!!!Congratulations to you Judy and Team Hyspire on Travis' Grand Championship!!! He is a lovely dog!!!His kids and grandkids here at Wilmark give him a paws up!!!
Congratulations Travis---I think Judy should buy you a steak!
Congats to Hyspire for a most-deserved title on the sweetest, most handsome boy out there!
