Katie had a great time at the Monroe, Louisiana, cluster held Labor Day Weekend, 2006. She won the 9-12 month puppy bitch class every day, and she won two Puppy Group Twos and a Puppy Group Three. Katie is pictured above left with Vanessa Fleming winning her Puppy Group Two on Saturday, September 2, and above right with breeder/owner Stevann Wilson winning her Puppy Group Two on Sunday, September 3.

After being “in the ribbons” in the 9-12 class every day during the 2006 Montgomery County weekend, Katie traveled to Georgia in April of 2007. She’s shown here with Vanessa Fleming winning the four-point major from the 12-18 class at the Valdosta Kennel Club Show under Judge Peggy Beisel-McIlwaine.

In July, Katie picked up two more major wins. She’s shown left winning a three-point major as Winners Bitch from Judge Dr. Lee Anthony Reasin at the Galveston County Kennel Club show in Houston on July 22^nd. The following weekend, pictured right, Judge Mrs. Lydia Coleman Hutchinson awarded her Winners Bitch/Best of Opposite at the Spartanburg Kennel Club show for another three-point major.

Katie and Stevann returned to the Monroe, Louisiana, cluster Labor Day Weekend, 2007, and Katie had another terrific weekend. The first day, August 31^st, Judge Mrs. Charlotte Patterson awarded Katie Best of Breed over the Specials and went on to award her a Group Four. Katie, Judge Patterson and handler Janice Hayes are pictured above left with Katie’s Group Four rosette.

On Sunday, September 2^nd, under Judge Mrs. Margaret Mickelson, Katie finished her championship, again going Best of Breed over the Specials, pictured above right. She and Stevann drove home to Austin tired and happy, and Katie is currently resting up while she decides whether to return to the ring next year.
