Tortik becomes a Supreme Champion

We headed across the border to Naracoorte in South Australia for a weekend of shows on Friday.  I did this weekend last year, and a group of us agreed then to come back and organised accommodation well in advance.  Leading up to the date I thought I was a little silly to make such a committment when the weather could still be so hot, but boy was I glad in the end that I did!

Tortik (Gr Ch Armahani Heliodorr Halu (AI) RA JC) ended last year needing two more Best in Groups to be eligible for his Supreme title.  And we wowed me this weekend by gaining both of them in two days!

Thank you to Western Australian judges C Seeber and P Campbell for awarding him so highly.  It was a super exciting finish to the great campaign Tortik and I have had together.

Also a huge thanks to Tortik's mum and dad, Kat and CJ.  They have been so super supportive since the day they took little cake home, and have put up with all sorts of interference in their life as I whisk their boy out of their backyard on such a regular basis.

Not to say Tortik is now retired, because I fully expect to have him out in the ring still a bit.  But we can relax a little and keep his showing for more special occasions.  You never know, that might give me a chance to get some of the younger (not so young anymore) boys out once in a while!
