And yes, I am thrilled Uno won. <\/p>\n
Everyone I know has asked my opinion on it and …<\/p>\n
First, he is truly the prettiest beagle I’ve ever met — though Macy’s father is right up there, however, I didn’t meet him in his prime and ready for the show ring. He’s also got the most personality I’ve ever seen in a show beagle, and I’ve even been to two national specialities. Between those two fact, yes, I think he deserved to win, and I think he’ll deserve to be Number 1 15" beagle of all time. He’s not yet but I’m quite sure if they show him enough, he will be. Heck, he’s only 2 1\/2. <\/p>\n
Second, he’s related to Macy. Macy’s father — the winnest 13" beagle of all time — is his father’s grandfather. So in some weird way, Macy and he is related. Funny, because Uno is only 5 months older than Macy. And now you know why 13" and 15" beagles are born in the same litter — they are ALL related. <\/p>\n
Third, his co owners are spot on good people. I think I was introduced to the Austin woman when I was showing Macy. However, I have met the male co owners — there are two, and they have always been very kind and gracious to me. Back in the day when I was showing U-CDX Weaver’s Peppermint Patty UD in obedience, the co-owners, the handler and the rest of the handler’s family used to come and watch Patty in obedience. I also used to go watch the handler show when he was in Jr’s. Patty and he both won awards at the National speciality the same year, so I know we were at least introduced then, but remember visiting ring side with all of them in the past.<\/p>\n
So I’m very pleased that some deserving people won, and also believe that he’s a purty little dog. FYI: Yes, that’s how I pronounce pretty when it’s a male and it’s a beagle winning. He’s just flat out purty. <\/p>\n
By the way, Macy isn’t quite a pretty but she has his attitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
