Congratulations to Bess Cleveland and GCh Gingery's Sweet Tea (Sugar) on several Accomplishments: First for ranking Sugar as a Top-Ten Chinese Crested effective with the July stats; Second for completing the Grand Championship for Sugar; and Third for doing it is the best way: Winning their first BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW!  What a thrill for Bess, Victor Helu, and Arlene Butterklee (Co-Owners and Co-Breeders), all who were there at the Chinese Crested Club of Potomac Specialty (held in conjunction with the Penn Ridge KC show) for the win.  Bess showed Sugar to perfection...  OK, Sugar occationally was having a little too much fun, but Judge Frank Sabella just loved Sugar.  So much so that Sugar was even pulled in a very strong Toy group.  Way to go, girls!!

Also making his debut as a veteran was Ch Curios Hit the Road Gingery (Jack).  Handled by Victor Helu for this show, Jack was awarded BOS from the BOB class (Veteran classes were not offered).  Judge Sabella was surprised to learn after judging that his BOS selection was 7 years old and that this was his first show since he retired in 2006 after winning an Award of Merit at Westminster.  Our thanks to owner Mark Field, who agreed to have him entered at the specialty. 


Jack was made famous by Jesse Sutton and Michelle Starry, who handled Jack for his campaign, earned all his Group placements and Specialty awards as a Champion, and ranked him #3 Chinese Crested (All Systems) in 2005.
