OUR SATURDAY ORLANDO PICKS

GCH CH Whistlestop’s Riley on Fire

The evening group judging is about to start here at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Orlando FL.  Let’s take a quick look at some of the favorites tonight.  First in the Sporting Group look for a face off between 2011’s Number One Dog All Breeds and the Number One Sporting Dog of all time, the Black Cocker Spaniel, CH Casablanca’s Thrilling Seduction, and this year’s Number One Sporting Dog and Number Five Dog All Breeds, the Irish Water Spaniel, GCH CH Whistlestop’s Riley on Fire.  We also like the Irish Setter, GCH CH Militza's My Cherie Amour and the English Cocker Spaniel, GCH CH Fieldstone Carousel Hell's Kitchen.

GCH CH Kiarry’s Pandora’s Box

In the Hound Group look for the Top Two Hounds, the American Foxhound, GCH CH Kiarry’s Pandora’s Box, and the Harrier, GCH CH Downhome Hitech Innovator, to be challenged by two sighthounds, the Saluki, GCH CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara, and the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Thaon’s Wallstreet, who only shows sporadically, but wins consistently.

GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare

Our Toy Group saw some upsets today, but there are still some heavy hitters competing.  All eyes will be on the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, who has already won two BIS in Orlando this week.  The Pekingese, GCH CH Yakee’s Easily Persuaded will definitely impress, as will the Pug, GCH CH Hill Country Tag I’m It, and the Papillon, GCH CH InVolo The King of Pop.

GCH CH Kan Sing Tenzin

Finally, Many of the top Non-Sporting Dogs failed to enter here in Orlando, but we still have top ranked multiple BIS winners to take their places.  Look for the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Dawin Hearts on Fire, the Tibetan Spaniel, GCH CH Kan Sing Tenzin, the Bulldog, GCH CH Itsa Brix, and the Chow Chow, GCH CH Dreamland’s Wanna Be a Billionaire.
