Freehold, NJ - May 26-29, 2017

RAVEN - Ch Staghorn & Ali-Mic's Marion Ravenwood, CGC - has a stupendous weekend out as a new special. The Freehold, NJ "Jersey Shore Cluster" of shows has always been a wonderful venue for us, but can be excruciatingly hot on any given year. This year we were presented with a rather wet start for the four days. Friday through Memorial Day Monday proved to be wonderfully productive event despite the rain. Raven started the cluster off with a Best of Opposite Sex on Friday under judge Jacqueline M. Rayner. Raven was in rare form on Saturday and took Best of Breed and Best of Breed and Best of Breed-Owner Handler for her first 5-point Grand Championship Major under judge William G. Daugherty. Later in the day, though she made the final cut of six dogs in the Working Group ring, she was not selected for any of the top four slots. In the Owner Handler series Working Group ring, she was given a OH-Group 4 award. Sunday was another day with a great lineup of dogs, and Raven once again received a Best of Opposite sexunderjudge Javinder Singh Pawar. On Monday she once again took Best of Breed under judge Dr. Albert P. Bianchi to complete a great weekend.

Current Grand Championship standings: 12pts w/ 2 Majors
