Calusa 2000

In 2000 the fall specialty of the NCLC was held over two days. Day one was more successful in terms of obedience: Yoshka did a nice runthrough Novice C with Lisa Stalteri (I had to work in the morning). In the confirmation ring, Yoshka placed second (out of two ;-) with an "Excellent" in the Champion Class behind Boston who went on to take BOB.

Day two was Yoshka's beauty with no brain day: Yoshka left the obedience ring on his recall to visit a dog he had fallen in love the day before BUT took BOB with a very flattering write up - see below.
