Day After Nationals, Show B
Keep's Poplar- Self Sr. Buck- 2/19- lost to the buck that took BOSB- and only BARELY, the judge had to go to the SOP multiple times to compare the top two.
Keep's Forest- Self Sr. Buck- 4/19
Keep's Tar Heel- Self Sr. Buck- 6/19
Keep's Tryon- Shaded Sr. Buck- 1/6- BOG!
Keep's Bahama- Shaded Sr. Doe- 1/7- BOSG!
Keep's Epiphany- Shaded Sr. Doe- 3/7
Keep's Heart Throb- Shaded Jr. Buck- 2/6

So, even though I missed out on seeing local friends and missed some friends winning BIS and BRIS, I had a FANTASTIC time and I'm absolutely thrilled with my placings.

It's incredible- and it seems the biggest factor in my placings was lack of coat! If only I could have had a little more perfection in the coats-

but hey, I finally crossed that glass ceiling that kept me at 2nd place and took my FIRST NATIONALS WIN! To go on and take BOSG was incredible, the competition was stiff!
