Chambray Labradors End of 2012 Spring Update

End of 2012 Spring Update

 

How does the 1st half of 2012 compare to the mind boggling, record setting 2011 dog show season?

Well, for starters there is BIS Ch Chambrays Celestial N Counter achieving what no other Florida female Labrador had ever ascended to............winning an AKC Best In Show. In fact in 25 years of showing, she becomes Chambray's 2nd BIS winner, following in her grandsire's footstep's 2008 (BIS Ch Chambrays out Of The Ruff) Best In Show.
So score 1 up for 2012.

How about 3 new AKC champions in 6 months of showing?
