"Sammy" would like to say Thank You to Glenn Lycan for a fabulous job of handling and congratulates him on his new post at the AKC.

 Sammy started 2002 with a major league homerun! Invited to the Westminster KC show in New York city, Sammy won Best of Breed under Judge Mr. Robert J. Caswell, Jr. He then went on to take Herding Group 1 under Judge Mrs. Irene Bivin. A great start to the year!

Sammy was awarded Best in Specialty under Breeder Judge Mrs. Mary Winsome at the Sunshine Specialty in January. At the Palmetto Specialty in February, he received an Award of Merit from Breeder Judge Mrs. Donna J. Francis. In March he won at the North Texas PWCC Specialty where he went Best in Specialty under Breeder Judge Mrs. Margaret G. Thomas and at the Ohio Valley PWCC where he won Best in Specialty under Mrs. Anne H. Bowes.

At the PWCC of Greater Atlanta in April, Sammy went Best in Specialty under Breeder Judge Mr. Thomas Mathiesen. In September, at the PWCC National Specialty, he went Best of Opposite under Breeder Judge Ms. Teresa Maddox.

Along the way, our deepest appreciation to Sammy's Best in Show judges:
