Montgomery celebrations, and a trio of passings

Montgomery, the mecca for Terrier lovers around the world. It shares its venue with the Hatboro Dog Club, and these two clubs work well together, tweaking their shows each year for the better. The big winner was the very popular and top-winning Terrier “MM,” officially named CH. HI-KEL TERRYDALE NANHALL MISCONCEIVED, bred by MARIPI WOOLDRIDGE, JENNIFER STEVENS & HAYLEY KEYES, owned by MARIPI WOOLDRIDGE, ARIEL CUKIER & KAREN J’ANTHONY and handled by ARIEL CUKIER. ...

Following Best in Show, there were two separate parties celebrating three events. There was a double celebration of the life of the late JACKIE GOTTLIEB (one of the great ladies of our sport) and the 60th-birthday celebration of professional handler ANDREW GREEN, co-hosted by CINDY VOGELS and BETH SWEIGART and AMY GREEN. Among those gathered at the GREEN motorhome were DAVID VOGELS, PHILIP VOGELS, GEIR FLYCKT-PEDERSEN, MARI-BETH O’NEILL, GEOFF CORISH, BARBARA ANDERSON, RICHARD POWELL, LIZ TOBIN, PETER GREEN, GAYNOR GREEN, RICHARD GREEN, PAM BEALE, KATHY CLARKE, SHARIA WALSTROM, PAT BAJORAS, ANNA SZABO, BLAKE HANSEN, BETSY & BILL DORSET, SUE GOLDBERG, PEGGY BEISEL, CHRIS ERICKSON, PATTY KEENAN, BRUCE SCHWARTZ, ERNEST LARA, LISA CROFT-ELLIOTT, ABBE SHAW, CONNIE CLARKE, RYAN HORVATH, JAN RITCHIE GLADSTONE, MARGERY GOOD, GEORGE WRIGHT, GABRIEL RANGEL, KATHERINE WRIGHT, BERGIT & HANS KABEL, KAREN JUSTIN, DINA (baker of the birthday cake) MOORE, ANN VIKLUND and MARILYN JACOBS. ...

Across the field was the second event, the celebration of the marriage of HAILEY & RC CARUSI — a marriage that took place some time ago but was only recently announced. Terrier people are a tight-knit group, and so many guests attended both celebrations. Feasting on the dinner hosted by gracious ladies KATE GIBBONS, NONNI REYNDERS and LINDA BUONAURO were guests CATHERINE PIKUL, EMILY PIKUL, ANDREA VALLERINI, KATHY ROLAND, DEIRDRE DUNBAR, ANTOINELLE VULPIS, JOHN MILLER, SARAH & ARIEL CUKIER, GUSTAVO MOLINARI, KERRY LEE, BILL MCFADDEN, DIANA HAN, KATE MURRAY, KATHY & CYNTHIA WOOD, CHRIS DANIELS, JURAJ SOKOLIC, VLADIMIR PIJUNOVIC, ANNE BARK, LEONARDO GARCINI, MARIA SACCO, SUSAN FRASIER, VESTA RASH, MICHAEL PAWASARAT, JIMMY DIXON, MICHAEL DOUGLAS, TODD & APRIL CLYDE, NANCY FONYO, MASA SIROKA, DONATELLA DIANA, CHISATO & YOSHI, KAO & HIROSHI, MAGNUS & ELIZABETH THEODOROSSON, JOSEFERINE PAPP MOGENSEN and TANYA HERNANDEZ. ...

A sad end to a wonderful weekend with the passing of professional handler JANE FLOWERS. JANE and her husband STAN bred Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Boxers, a breed long associated with STAN. JANE passed away peacefully in her sleep. All of us at DOG NEWS send STAN our deepest sympathies. ...

Following major surgery compounded by Covid and pneumonia, multiple group judge PAT LAURANS has passed away. A longtime German Wirehaired Pointer fancier, she was best known as an outspoken and major force in the delegate body of the American Kennel Club. PAT will be best remembered as one of the original founders of TAKE THE LEAD. Our deepest sympathies to her longtime partner JACKIE ADAMS and family. Those who wish can make a contribution in her memory to TAKE THE LEAD. ...

Well-known Terrier judge and Airedale Terrier breeder CHARLES FOLEY has passed away. A member of the EASTERN DOG CLUB, he was a popular judge for many years. Our sympathies to his family. From the United Kingdom comes word that the feisty, take-no-prisoners BETTY FLAVELL has passed away. A name long associated with Pomeranians, she was a popular judge at home and around the world.
