Maggie made us very proud by becoming a GRAND CHAMPION on 15 November 2003 - Maggie is from only the 3rd litter we have bred. Maggie achieved this wonderful accomplishment with style and at a steady pace as she had been out of the show ring for nearly 18 months with maternal duties. If the "Supreme Champion" title was available when she was showing she would have won it with ease.
Maggie was the ultimate show girl. She was a multi BOB, BIG, BIS and RUBIS winner at "All Breeds" shows on top of regularly being "on the pegs" at Specialty Show level, including BISS & R/U BISS. Maggie was a real performer at home too, keeping us highly amused with her antics - we did think of entering her in "Funniest Home Videos"!
Maggie is proudly owned, bred and deeply loved by us both.
Very sadly we had to say goodbye to our darling girl on Saturday 13 April 2013 at 10am - she lives on through 6 generations and we will never forget her here at "Alnclair".

2nd place in Veteran Bitch Class (her only GRC show this year)
"A lovely 11 1/2 year old bitch who is starting to show her age and unlucky to meet the winner here today. Strong bitch in excellent condition. Feminine well balanced head with soft pleasing expression. Adequate front and rear angulation, moved truly but did not have the reach and drive today as the first placegetter."
