VOICE OF REASON

I had asked Kim if she could send me some random photos that her husband Pat may have taken at the Kilbride Dog Show. Of course she sent me some right away. When this picture turned up in my inbox I knew it was time again to make mention of the guy that makes Brighthope tick.



 Dave is the one that really does keep things going here at Brighthope. I can just imagine that he is giving some good advice to our granddaughter Katelyn in this picture. He is always ready to listen and let me "bounce" things off of him. The final decisions about our dogs is always left to me, but I certainly seek and value his opinion. He can always see things from different angles which helps "this breeder" as my heart sometimes doesn't listen to my head. I am very thankful for my "voice of reason"

NEW BRIGHTHOPE CHAMPION

Once again this computer decides for itself what it will do and I just go along for the ride. I have been trying to post this announcement for over a week and finally it will let me.

CH BRIGHTHOPE POWER POINT aka DAX owned by Kim and Pat is the latest Brighthope champion. Owner handled by Kim from start to finish. Way to go to both of you.

JUDGE: MR. L. PINTO TEIXEIRA  (checking the bite)

IN THE GROUP RING WITH ALL THE OTHER "BEST OF BREED" WINNERS
