Alexander meets up with his wonderful breeders Toni Leitao and Lorraine Yu from Misty Mountain Labradors in Washington State at the very stormy show in Pleasanton over the weekend. I have never been to a show with as much wind and rain as this show, better on Monday, but I had to hand it to the Judge who stayed in the rainy ring the entire time while judging over 80 Labradors. Here you see Alex's sire, Zeus, the #5 Labrador in the USA who won Best of Breed at the All Breed show on Monday. In my opinion, he is the perfect yellow Labrador Retriever in temperament and type, with Alexander showing many of his good qualities already at almost a year old. When Toni sends them I will add some really nice photos of Alexander that he took at the show. Alexander will now be handled by my wonderful Newfoundland handler, Jeff Heim, who has a wonderful manner with dogs in the show ring. I look forward to seeing Alexander handled with the elegance and style that he deserves and that Jeff Heim is known for. The lovely black bitch here is Prada, owned by Toni and Lorraine, and has a fabulous profile of a very feminine, sleek, and fit Labrador. She was Best Opposite Sex at the Specialty and throughout the weekend. We look forward to our next show at the Wine Country Kennel Club show in Napa. Alexander will be ready.
