Last show today for Mr Eric. There is always a possibility of taking him out again for fun. This boy has done an exceptional job reaching AKC Grand Champion. He has overcome a lot and was an absolute joy to finish. He is very much my boy and always gave me everything he had. He became so relaxed and happy in the show ring and of course at home. Now he gets to eat all the chicken and hot dogs his little heart desires and enjoy being retired from showing. We are excited to see what he produces for our program. His current litter may have not been planned but is an awesome litter of pups.

Eric is one of the very first show dogs we got. Between him and his amazing breeder we are hooked on showing. They have both given us wonderful a experience. I will miss showing my little stoic boy but very excited for his future.

AKC pending approval : GCH CH Marrandi Eragon Lord Dragons

Huge thank you to todays JUDGE: Mr Charles L Olvis for all your kind words, encouragement and for recognizing our boys.
