Hello Amanda, Beau is a handsome dog! Congratulations on him being #1! I will be sending your BF good Karma while he is in Iraq.
Debby (FL)
I've been busy with work (the controlled burn season is DONE and now
> it's time for CAMPING season) and showing the Beau dog.

> Beau got a couple of placements in the Herding Group in March (two
> Group 3s), two more in April (a 4 and a 2) and the same weekend in
> April he went Best in Show. He's also ranked #1 for his breed right
> now. Woo Hoo! He's probably not going to stay #1 for much longer (a
> big show is coming up in June) but I'm still happy.

> My BF is also going back to Iraq soon to do personal security... so I'm
> trying to spend some time with him before he goes.
