To our enormous delight and relief, Miss Tess (Ch. Soyara’s Cunning Little Vixen) picked up her second major last month at the McKinley KC shows to finish her championship.

Tess was a handful to show. After some early come-to-Jesus meetings with my lovely bride, Tess would slink down in the ring, making her look long and low. We turned her over to the capable hands of Nina Fetter, who did a wonderful job of showing her. Still, the road was longer and harder than we wanted, but Tessie is finished now and can return to pestering her brother Sarge.
