Thornapple Scandalous
"Mika"
We have disappointing news
for Mika and Kelly. When Mika's New Champion
certificate
arrived, we noticed Kelly's name did not appear as co-owner on the
New Champion
Certificate. We immediately placed a placed a phone call to AKC. It
seems that a transfer
dated and mailed to AKC on September 12, 2006, was never received.
In order to finish a dog
from the AKC Bred By Exhibitor Class, the person who handles the dog in the
class must have
his/her name as registered co-owner with AKC prior to exhibiting in the class at
an AKC
show. Since AKC has no record of the transfer, Mika's championship
is not recognized.
The silver lining to the
story is that two of our own bitches picked up Mika's majors. Our
bitch,
Ch Thornapple Git R Done
"Larry," is now a finished champion thanks to two Reserves
to Mika's 4 point majors at the MSU Dog Shows in December 2006 and a major
win in
Indianapolis weekend of February 10. Congratulations Maria Neff on your
new champion!
And our bitch, Thornapple
Flirtin' With Fire "Flame" now has 12 points with two majors ...
thanks to two Reserves to Mika wins at the January 2006 Brooksville, Florida
shows.
Kelly's name has been
officially added to Mika's AKC papers. Kelly is anxious to start
over! TWICE the fun for Mika & Kelly! Nothing wrong with that!
Their first show will
be the Tar Heel Circuit at the end of March in Raleigh, North Carolina!
Mika's page and her
gallery will be added to a new page on the Future Stars page.
A NEW adventure begins!
