So “Grandma” Ava was also entered at the National ( Quickfire call all divas v Maplemor ) and I had the pleasure of showing her in Veteran Sweepstake in the 9-11 years of age group. She too placed a respectable 4th in her class and her family cousin “ Albany” placed 4th in her Regular Veteran class of 7-10 years of age group. It is always rewarding when breeders can see the longevity in their lines and that the dogs can still get out there and move.
Ava also received her first leg in “Veteran Obedience” with her owner/handler Tim Peterson :-)))
