JOE Wins BOB and Group 2 OVER 1000 TERRRIERS on MCKC Weekend!

YEAR – 2010

While MCKC is the official National Specialty for the WTCA, it is well-known that most of the dogs are shown all 4 days on Montgomery weekend. In 2010, the other 3 days were designated at WTCA specialties.

Joe won Select Dog the other days on this weekend, including the National Specialty. Joe’s sire won BOB at the National that year.

At Devon Dog Show Association, a WTCA designated specialty, Joe won BOB and on to a TERRIER GROUP 2nd. There were 1,000 terriers in attendance that day for competition! That is huge!
