MARYLAND CHERRY BLOSSOM CLUSTER

METROPOLITAN BALTIMORE DOBERMAN PINSCHER CLUB


Friday, April 23, 2010


Stella was entered in Sweepstakes, here is the judge Ms Sharon Marinelli, checking her out...


one more look at Stella, and she wins...of course!



These are the AmBred entries, a very tough lineup, six very good dogs...and top handlers!  Colleen is first here with Rupert, Michelle and Quincy are in the middle.


Here is the judge, Mr E.A.(Skip) Thielen, checking Rupert, this is a very thorough judge,



here he is checking Quincy



and here looking at Carissa DeMilta's dog.



The lineup includes also Diego Garcia, among others, here first on left.



Colleen does her usual best with Rupert, and he is putty in her hands




Can you guess who took the class from Michelle's expression?  Rupert!  This was such a tough lineup, that I felt as excited and proud of our puppy winning the class, as other times when he took Winners!  The judge was very meticulous, and checked every inch of every dog, no quick decision for sure, so when he pointed to Colleen we were thrilled.  I was also very happy the Michelle and Marissa shared this joy with me.  This was the first time that they had come to see Rupert compete, and even though he did not advance beyond winning the AmBred class, it was such a proud moment for me to share such a tough win with my daughter and granddaughter.  I was also very happy that they met Colleen, Cindy, Donna and Mark, and Mary and Dennis.


Here is Argon, who showed very well, and took third.



I believe that this is Stella



Stella.



Gemmi showed like the Champion that she is, Colleen could not have done a better job with her, the judging was grueling, and it seemed to go on forever, both dog and handler gave their all, but she did not take the breed.



One last look at the BOB lineup, if I remember correctly, Carissa took the breed with the fawn bitch.
