Breeder's Showcase Bench Show
Aurora, KY - Damon and Tina Cooper of Cold Spring, Kentucky were all smiles at the PKC/Purina National Ben ch Show Tour show in Aurora on July 24th. Their River Hills Reuben dog won Best Male of Show in both the Open and Open Performance shows but that was not the only reason they were happy. "We think Reuben may be the first English hound to earn both hunt and show championships in PKC," said Tina with an ear to ear smile. The Coopers have been showing their English dogs regularly in the Tour shows this year and it's good to see them winning big at Aurora.
Here is the complete list of winners at the 2004 PKC Breeder's Showcase:
