This doesn't involve a famous person, and really, I'd doubt anyone here knows what I'm talking about (but it's a big deal) BUT
I had the first basenji ever, at our yearly national specialty, win an Award of Merit from the Field Trial Class.
Try to hold your applause LOL
I don't have a hound, but I was heavily involved in showing IWs in obedience-okay, you can get off of the floor now :lol: -so I do have an idea what you're talking about! Congratulations :thumbup:
