 Ben wins big at his first show, lovingly and capably handled by his novice owner Jamie! Ben moves with the grace of his Daddy, and even though his markings are asymmetrical, he has a dramatic look, and loves the show ring! He took best male puppy all three days, and showed equal friendliness to all judges! He was confident and interested, and clearly loved being with Jamie. His family cheered him from the sidelines, which only encouraged him! |
