OK so I have my arm twisted up behind my back and I am in pain at having to announce to the world that Griff Parry is a star handler. But on Sunday October 26 at the Hound Club of Tasmania under Breeder Judge Mr Tony Kyman (Victoria) he took on the task of handling my girl Zest (Ch Isilwane Flag Bearer ET) as I had also won BOB with my Ridgeback girl and he managed to knock us off for BEST IN SHOW.
I was in the ring still competing for RUBIS with tears running down my face as I was so proud of her, and I am now honouring the commitment that was FORCED out of me to announce on this board just how great Mr Parry is
Zest is Ch Isilwane Flag Bearer ET, sired by Woodbrook's Wizard of Oz (Imp Fin) and out of Ch/Am Ch Ridgesetter Fly The Flag ET SC. She is our moderate black brindle hunting fiend who did indeed bear the flag for Isilwane kennels when her mum was on sabatical in the US.
Many thanks Griff for handling her to perfection - still think you should have taken the Ridgeback!!!!!!!!!
And can I just say that a week later when again in competing for BISS at a Ridgeback specialty, I was beaten by my own dog when my bitch Bloom (Gr Ch Isilwane Orlando ET) beat her half brother Potter (Gr Ch Isilwane Quidditch ET). I think I may have a problem with choosing the right dog to handle on these occasions! But pretty proud to have got the CC with both dogs all the same.
