ANOTHER VERY PROUD MOMENT

Zipper and Ashley competed at the Irish Setter National Specialty in June in Jacksonville, Florida.  At 2 1/2 years of age, he won the Open Dog class and took Reserve Winners Dog out of approximately 134 class dogs under judge Jeanette McGinnis!!  It was well worth the trip!!
 

After traveling to Canada 2 separate weekends, Zipper became a Canadian Champion on September 11, 1999 at Save The Children Canada under Judge Donald Booxbaum by taking Best of Winners, Best of Breed, and a Group 2.
