Pawnee's All That 'N' More BVISS, CGC, TDI
*NEWS FLASH*
She did it again, in a very large class of veterans, at the age of 9 years and 11 months Ally placed 4th in the 8-10 year SWEEPS class judged by Wayne Miller and made the cut in the 8-10 year regular classes at the 2008 Golden Retriever National Specialty.
*NEWS FLASH*
At the age of 9.5 years Ally made a reappearance in the show ring, and not just any show but the Golden Retriever Club of America Eastern Regional on April 18th, 2008 and thrilled us by going Best Veteran in Show. All I can say is "she is all that 'n' more"!
Ally came from my good friend and respected breeder,Toni Norton of Pawnee Goldens. Ally is a great all around girl, with a quiet confidence about her. She weighs in at approximately 62 pounds and stands 21 1/2 inches at the wither. She is a medium gold color and carries a very correct coat. Medium bone, balanced angles and lovely neck into shoulder assembly.
Ally has done very well the few times she has been shown, picking up 9 points towards her American Championship with a JAM (Judges Award of Merit) along the way.
After a seasonal break from the ring, we returned with a bang, only to learn Ally had decided she preferred her therapy work with children to the show ring. Ally has worked with Special Ed kids at the local middle school as well as visited the elementary schools in the area often to help educate the children about proper pet care. She knows several hand signals or signs that she had to learn to work with the deaf children and also has a very special way with the Autistic children who seem to have a language all their own, yet somehow she understands.
