"Christie" wins WB and Best of Winners at the 2002 ASSA National!  Thank you Zana Friend, her outstanding handler, and judge Mr. Joe Molloy, for this honour.

Christie is now an American Champion, finishing with three Specialty majors, two of which were five-point majors.  As a puppy, she won Best in Sweepstakes at three U.S. Specialties and also a Runner-Up to Best in Sweeps.  In Canada, she won WB/BW at the DC&SSA Specialty two consecutive years!

At the 1999 National in Virginia Beach, Christie slipped her collar and was missing for nine days.  The two gentlemen on the left (sorry, we don't have their full names...though one is known as "Saint" Bernard!), Zana Friend (holding Christie) and Darla Duffey (driving the van) were responsible for her rescue.  We thank all the others who spent their time looking for Christie throughout National week.  There are too many (hundreds) to mention all by name...however, we are truly grateful.
