CH Homesteader's Summertime Reign "Maddie" 15 Best in Shows, 78 group firsts, number one GSP and number two sporting dog in 2001, All Systems. Multiple Specialty show winner was shown by Brian Still, Rebecca Carner, and on the odd occasion, by Nancy. At the much celebrated Morris and Essex show, Maddie not only won the sporting group, but stood with the Kerry and the Bichon as one of the last three considered for Best in Show. She exudes soundness, exemplary type, effortless movement and sound condition. Her eyes are dark brown, her tail set is perfect, and her effortless ground covering movement wastes no motion. She is at the top of the allowable size for bitches, giving her the power and nobility--both earmarks of our standard. She finished her championship shown by her breeder/owner at eight months of age, and when moved up the next show, she won BOB over several top ten specials, going on to a group second to the best in show selection for the day. We put her away until she was almost two. The rest is history. We thank the judges who awarded her over her two years of showing. It has been a great career for a dog that has always lived at home and has never been on an airplane. We especially thank Brian and Rebecca for their faith, fortitude, patience, dignity, and most of all, their friendship. Thanks especially to breeder judges like Rita Bell, James Burns and Betsy Yates who have singled her out and sent her on.  CH Homesteader's Summertime Reign "Maddie" To fifteen different Best in Show judges goes our homage, and to the multitude of judges who have awarded her breeds and group firsts that sent us on to Bests, we thank you. It was a great ride. See you in the ring. Maddie expects her first litter August 10, 2002. That, after all, is what it is all about. Nancy C. Campbell, Homesteader Kennels. See her pedigree
