Judges may ‘Pronounce’ teams demonstrating exceptional technique and/or teamwork at each trial and title level and it is a coveted and hard to earn designation.

"Finnegan" is out of Brigadoon Bullinda Bailey (who needs 2 pts to finish her CH). His sire is CH Elfming Achilles

One year old Sugar, who has a correct bite, an excellent broad muzzle and beautiful expression won her class, but did not progress further. Her Dad is CH Elfming Achilles.

We decided to share photos we recently rec'd from Los Angeles area friends, who have 15 year old Brigadoon Bretan Lily. Lily has both ROM and AKC points, but with moving family and changes, she never finished her CH. Greying, but still beautiful, Lily enjoys her active family life. Lily is the daughter of CH Brigadoon Jana ROM (double Silverwood finalist) and CH Jobrulu Gilderoy ROM.
