Last week was a fun meeting when Lily and her mother, Cindy, brought their two show dogs to demonstrate how AKC Junior competitions are judged.
Lily, 14, currently shows 4 main breeds: Cirneco Dell’ Etna (Hound), Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (Sporting), Standard Manchester Terrier (Terrier) and Belgian Tervuren (Herding). She is very successful; a record holder for being the youngest competitor to win back-to-back Best of Shows and is ranked #9 nationally. In December and February, she will travel to Florida and New York to compete for scholarships in the two largest national AKC Junior Dog Shows.
Lily’s great grandfather also holds a record. At 100, he was the oldest Rotarian to serve as club president. Lily’s follows his lead in service. She volunteers for Angel on Wheels Toy Drive, JDRF and Wagon Angels. Thank you Lily!
