Best In Show went to the Puli, Ziggy, and Reserve went to the Irish Setter, Adele.  It’s the second BIS in 13 final attempts this year for Ziggy and owner/handler Jackie Beaudoin.

Ziggy, Adele, and the Welsh Terrier, Jennie, would all make it back to the final ring on Sunday.  Joining them in judge Dr Richard Hilderman’s ring were the Rhodesian Ridgeback, GCH CH Camelot's Ventura Adventure, the Newfoundland, GCH CH Avalon Bey Chairman of the Board, the Chinese Crested, GCH CH Belews Les Bonstemps Rouler, and the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Luminary Black Velvet Bejeweled with Pearls.

Saturday’s bridesmaid was Sunday’s Bride, as the Irish Setter, Adele, romped away with the BIS and the Welsh Terrier, Jennie, scored the RBIS.  It’s the first BIS in six final appearances this year for Adele and breeder/owner/handler Ken Wall, breeders/owners Tracy McNeal, Roger McNeal, & Joel Fisher DVM, and owner N Godbey
