It has been a week since my Hamiltonstovare went Best in Show at the AKC Open Shows in Stafford, Va and I am still riding high from it. I am completely over the moon as it was my girl that had a litter of puppies just 8 weeks before. I entered her as filler for my male to get some points toward his CM but instead she was the start of the weekend. She came away with back to back group 1st's, a BIS and a Group 2nd. My male got a Group 1st as well.

I will post pictures when I have them, I am still combing over the photos from the show photographer.

They aren't, they are a FSS breed.

Congrats, OP.

They are an FSS breed show we can show in AKC Open Show and every other companion/performance event except regular all-breed shows. We can earn every title except Ch and GCH. My guys have CGC titles and my female is the first hound and 4th all-breed to earn the CGCA title.

Thanks again, it is classified as a "Best in Show" by the AKC which is awesome. We show as a fully recognized UKC breed.

We were there but only on Friday, with 3 Berger Picards. My puppet took BOB and a group 2!

Awesome, yes I have tried coursing with my female. She is just one course away from her UKC CA but she has gotten so attached to me with service dog work that I doubt she will complete the course now.

Did you know?
The second obedience title is a CDX, or "Companion Dog Excellent", which is earned through competition in the Open obedience class.
