Breaking News from the Top 25 Chair: Lynn Miller.........
Westminster is over, congratulations to all those that placed!! Now it is time to gear up for the 2023 National Specialty! Invitations have gone out for the much-anticipated Top 25 Event and it's time to start planing your outfit, my friends. This year's theme is Champagne and Roses and will feature, of course, a champagne toast to the well-deserved dogs and their humans. To help you plan your outfit, think cream, ivory, blush tones, silver and the always in vogue black. For inspiration...
