We were very hopeful, since the last show Panzer had gotten a Reserve to a Major.  But every show is different.  It turned out that Panzer had a great time at Granite City Kennel Club.  Besides getting a chance to say hello to many admirers, with Jim's expert handling he got his first points to his championship in the AKC ring! 

Not only that, when his Mom, Pat, took him in for Breed, he turned around and won Best of Winners for a 3-point major!  Since he did so well, he of course got his photo with the judge, Ms. Christina Hubble. 

Our son, Sean, then insisted he have a photo with Panzer and Santa! 

So, we're proud to say that Panzer has ended the year well.  He wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
