Then, in two years, her son, Jabberwock Sam Adams, in his first two shows, won four points under respected breeder-judge, Lydia Hutchinson (MD), and five points under judge Janet Lobb (ON). His awards at the Land O' Lakes shows in January, 2009, in St. Paul, from two additional judges, including puppy-selection author, Pat Hastings, awarded Sam 14 of the 15 points he needed. Then, on 9 January, 2010, judge Virgina Lyne (British Columbia) awarded Sam his WD and Best-of-Winners for yet another four-point major win and more points than he needed for his championship. He is now a US champion and addressed at home as "Your Grace."
Jabberwock Cairns are groomed regularly and walked 1 1/2 to 2 miles per day (one mile in -30F weather) in our neighborhood and along the Mississippi River in St. Paul. They receive regular health checks and minimal inoculations from our general practice vets and annual ophthalmologic exams with Dennis Olivero, DVM, ACVO.
Is it now Annie's turn?
At the Su-Mac Club specialty in June, 2008, Annie was judge Peggy Beisel McIlwaine's winner in the 6-9 month-old class.
In Sam's August, 2008, show, Annie was judge Janet Lobb's reserve female. Will Annie's time come in 2010?
