of condolences.

Her home snail mail addy is: Sandra Leavens, 259 Lasting Ridge, Ball Ground, Ga

The sweet part of the weekend is that the following get out of Pogo and Sandra's
bitches had the following placements this weekend.

Raven "Ammos Some Like It Hot" out of Ch Millette's Let the Games Begin (Pogo)
and DC Ammos Gone With The Wind (Breezy) won her first major on Thursday at 7
months by going WB (over 17 Bitches) and Best Puppy at the show on Thursday.
Today at the Ga Brittany Speciality Show Raven went BOS in the Sweepstakes.
Congratulations to Sandra and Gary Leavens who are the breeders and owners of
Raven.

Sonny now "Ch Ammo's Sunset Rose" (pending AKC approval) out of Ch. Millette's
Let The Games Begin (Pogo) and Ch. Ammo's Nearly Wild Rose went WB for a major
and finished her Show Championship at the Georgia Brittany Club Speciality
today. This is the 2nd Ch out of that litter and there are field pointed get
too. Sonny was only shown at Speciality shows and all her points were
Speciality Wins. Congratulations to Sandra Leavens and Emily Simmons who are
Sonny's owners. Sandra was also Sonny's breeder.
One of Pogo's daughters "Misty" who is out of the same
litter as Raven (Pogo ex Breezy)won the 6-9 puppy class (her sister Raven placed
2nd) at the Georgia Speciality today and Blu, "Ch Ammo's Bugle Boy" (Sonny's
littermate out of Pogo ex Breezy) who was the dual dog of the 2007 Central
Futurity made the cut in BOB. Congratulations to Jim and Patty McCarthy who own
Blu and Misty.

Rick and I are so proud of Pogo's get out of these two litters but we couldn't
have done it without Sandra's belief in Pogo and her hard work on her breeding
program. Of course it couldn't have been done across without her females, DC
Ammo's Gone With The Wind and Ch. Ammo's Nearly Wild Rose.

I am sorry but I have no more information on other placements and wins from the
weekend but I am sure Roger Hunter or someone will post them. I was unable to
attend this show because I have a broken back and awaiting surgery on April
24th. I am so sorry I missed everyone.

Sandra, please know that Rick's and my love, thoughts and prayers are with you
and your family during this difficult time.
