At Saturday’s LKAA encore, judge Marjorie Tuff would name Charlie her best and the returning Boxer, Suri, her Reserve after considering the aforementioned Gordon, Chihuahua, & Corgi, and the Greyhound, GCH CH GrandCru Giaconda.

Charlie would top judge Robert Hall’s final at Sunday’s LIKC show. Judge Hall would also like Sonnito, the Chihuahua, whom he named Reserve. Rounding out the seven were the now familiar Gordon, Afghan, Boxer, & Corgi, and the Dalmatian, GCH CH Chermar Atlantis Ruby Red Cinnabar CGC. Charlie is AKC’s Number Four Dog All Breeds with 16 BIS and 43 Terrier Groups.
