A Big Congratulations to OBC member Terri Pope and her husband Randy for the fantastic Open Brindle Bitch win with their bitch bred and owned by them Mi-T's Forever Love better known as Gloria. (pictured right). With a class total of 24 bitches I know this was a moment Terri will never forget. I stood there next to her as we were both on pins and needles waiting to see who would get the final point.  Gloria handled by Norah McGriskin got the point on the final go around, Terri screamed!! I didn't know she could scream in octaves that high :)) What a moment!!

Everyone was gearing up for the last big day. Cut after cut it was narrowing down to just a final few. The crowd gasped, sighed and clapped as Judge Mrs. Betty Mentzer made her final cut. Then with a point of a finger it was said and done.....

As the week came to an end we all went to back to our favorite restaurant one last time. The unique taste of the house salad, tasty pasta entrees and sinful deserts once again made our taste buds scream in delight!   With good company of Renee Howard, Terri Pope, Linda Middagh, Lauri Travis,and Nancy Ingalls we ate well, we laughed hard, and we talked Boxers!! What more can one ask for. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it all again. Once again congratulations to all the winners and thank you to OBC members Renee & Larry Howard, Terri & Randy Pope for representing our club so well.

See you all next year
