DID YOU GO TO SCARBOROUGH?

GCH CH Classical’s My Turn CGC 

“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?” asks the anthem of the Summer of Love. That was the summer of 1967 when the Flower Children flocked to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Today whenever we hear that call, we think of a long weekend in Scarborough ME for four shows with the Vacationland Dog Club and the York County Kennel Club of Maine. 

GCH CH Legacy Random Titleist 

The set started on May 14th with the VDC’s opener. Judge Rodney Herner had the day one final and his choice of the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Legacy Random Titleist, the Wirehaired Dachshund, GCH CH Raydach’s Ride My Ducati SW, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Alisaton Saboteur V Raklyn Ciden, the American Staffordshire Terrier, GCH CH Angarda Deja Vu Looking At You, the Pomeranian, GCH CH Char’s Seattle Slew For Triple Crown, the Dalmatian, GCH CH Erin’s I’m Your Man, the Bearded Collie, GCH CH Classical’s My Turn CGC. 

Grabbing the day one final was the Beardie, Turner. Coming in second was the Springer, Titleist. Turner is the nation’s Number One Bearded Collie and Number Seven Herding Dog with four BIS and 17 Herding Groups.
