Kismet Manchesters is HAPPY to announce our new Champion! Our little girl, Fini finished her championship requirements today in Marshall, TX, and is now CH Kismet's Final Feat! (May 4, 2013)

AND she took a Group 4 in the Bred By Exhibitor Toy Group. What a way to start out her show career!  Then 2 weeks later, at our second show, Fini won Winner' Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex, for 2 points, under Judge Peggy J. Haas, on Saturday.

"Julie"
BIS GCh. Ebets Mint Julep at Kismet
RE, CGC, AOM, HOF, ROM

Sire: Ch. St. Lazar's Old Glory At Ebet
Dam: Ch. Rosewood Olive Branch

 Julie winning Best In Show
Julie did us very proud again, this is the second time she was awarded Brood Bitch of the Year 2010, which she got to share (both girls produced 4 finished champions in 2010) with another very deserving girl whom we had the pleasure to meet at a show 3 years ago, with her wonderful owner/mom.

Julie has decided to take the backseat to her very beautiful daughters in the ring, even though she still loves to show, and finished her Grand Championship i December 2011 after being shown only a few times. She still greatly enjoys the conformation ring, but seems just as happy going to the shows, and just hanging out while her babies get to play "showdogs". She is an awesome mom, companion, lap warmer, AND fearless squirrel hunter.

There is yet more to come for this special girl, who has had a very exciting and successful career in the show ring, starting with a Group 2 placement at the tender age of 9 1/2 months old, the same day she earned her championship. Since then she has racked up:

 • A Best In Show
• 2 Group 1 Placements
• 2 Group 2 Placement
• 7 Group 3 Placements
• 4 Group 4 Placements
• BOS at Eukanuba in Tampa, Florida in January 2006
• Award of Excellence at Eukanuba in Long beach, CA in December of 2006
• Award of Merit at the 2006 District 6 Specialty
• Invite to Westminster as the #4 TMT in the country in 2006
• Canine Good Citizen Certification in October '07
• Rally Novice Title in June '08
• Rally Advanced Title and 1st Leg of Rally Excellent Title (with a first place!) in July '08
• Fourth Year in a row to receive an invite to Eukanuba.
• Rally Excellent Title, earned her last leg in May of '09
• Inducted into the Hall of Fame by the American Manchester Terrier Breed Club in June '09
• Received the "Brood Bitch of the Year" Award by the American Manchester Terrier Breed Club 2010

 Earned her grand championship in December 2011

I have taken great pride in all of her wins, always owner handled. Look for Julie in the conformation ring, Rally ring, and eventually in the Agility ring as well as out at Earthdog Trials. This is what I call an all around girl!

Big Thanks goes out to all of the judges for giving her the recognition in both the Breed, and Group rings.
