The new millenium
began with a big win for us at the Golden Gate
Kennel Club Dog Show at the Cow Palace in San
Francisco. Tracy put the championship title on
Bruiser. He was our first home bred champion. What a
thrill that was for us since Tracy had
 spent
several years riding horses in the same arena at the
Jr. Grand National Horse Show. Bruiser's
championship title was the culmination of much work
and dedication, and we were so proud of the fact
that we had received all of his points in
California. Throughout the 2000 show season, our
focus was on the BCA National Show in Portland,
Oregon, in November. We took all four dogs this
year. In 1996 at the National in Ontario,
California, we had shown Buffy in the American Bred
bitch class, Bruiser in the 12-18 month dog class,
and Phoebe in the 12-18 month bitch class. That year
Bruiser took a fourth on the day of the PCBC show,
and Buffy had won her class on the day of the
Division III show. We were thrilled!!! Our first
year out showing, and our first National, and we
came home with trophies!! In Portland, we showed all
four dogs the day of the National show. Smokey was
in the Bred By dog class, Phoebe was in the American
Bred bitch class, Buffy was in the Veteran bitch
class, and Bruiser was in the breed. On the day of
the National, Buffy placed third in a class of 8
bitches. Again, we were so proud of the way she
looked and showed. The breed class was quite an
experience for Tracy as there were 66 dogs/bitches
in the class. It was a wonderful experience showing
with many of the dogs you see in the Bulldogger. The
next day, Buffy placed third again in a class of 6
dogs. But Saturday, the day of the Division V show
under breeder/judge Ms. Bruce Lorenzen, she won the
class and got to go to the breed!! We asked our dear
friend and fellow Mother Lode Bulldog Club member,
Jean Simmons, to show her for us as Tracy would also
be in the breed ring with Bruiser. What a special
moment for us when Jean presented Buffy to
breeder/judge Jack Potter and the crowd applauded
for her. It was so special for us since we were
never able to finish Buffy because of having to spay
her in the middle of her show career. She still
looked great out there, and loved every minute of
being in the spot light again. We continued to enter
Buffy at Specialty shows with a Veteran Bitch class
for as long as she was able to compete. To us, she
was truly a very special bulldog, and one we will
never forget!! |
