The Ruff Pups

Write up by Pam Lyford, Wichita, KS:
I am very pleased, and very relieved, to announce that Benden-Solitaire's Ruff Estimate, "Guess" earned his CD in three days at the Garden City, KS shows last weekend. We had a 192 1/2 on Friday for a third place. That darn first sit that was a "no sit" cost us 1st place, which the judge so kindly reminded me of at least 4 times during the weekend. On Saturday we only earned a 186 which was still a third place. Guess's mom did not regroup well after he moved his feet on the stand and lost focus on the off leading heeling. On Sunday, I still had plenty of dog left to show and we earned a 190 1/2 for first place and our title. It is nice to know that when many of the other dogs had just had enough of being in the ring by day three, he was still in the game. If you can not tell, I really love this boy and thank those who made that litter possible and trusted me enough to bring Guess into my home. I hope to be ready for Open at the Oklahoma City Classic in late June.
