Just wanted to tak this time to tell your son congragulations on that big win.
Taking 3 4 point majors is not something that happens everyday. First you need
the dogs to show up. I know for Lhasas which is my breed you need 9 dogs for
a 3 point major and bitches 12 for a 3 point major. How many is it for the
Ridgeback ?

I've gotten sort of close to that, by taking 2 3 point majors back to back in
Saratoga this year in January. I was pretty excited then too and so should your
son. Was the dog owner handled. How old is your dog. That should almost finish
him right ? He just needs the single points or mabe he is already a "CH"

I already have two Champions, working on 3 and 4, which are also on the
verge of finishing too, I hope this year.

I think you should do a little advertising in one of your magazines about this
win. Well congrats again and keep up the good work.
