WOW!! Three cheers for Grace and Darcy, CH Winfarthing Pride and Prejudice MH, taking Westminster Kennel Club by storm and in her first year qualifying to compete in junior showmanship at this show, earns a place in the top 8 juniors to go to the finals. To get to the finals, Grace competed in one of the 4 preliminary classes on Monday February 15. In each prelim class there were 30-35 juniors. Grace and Darcy won their class of 33 juniors under judge William Vandiver, to earn her spot in the finals. Finals took place on Tuesday February 16. Jennifer Pahl was the judge. Grace and Darcy looked amazing, and despite Darcy being somewhat under the weather earlier that day, he rose to the occasion for Grace and looked and showed for her just unbelievable. They did not get one of the top 4 placements in the finals, even though we all sure thought she showed well enough to do so. She did however, earn a 500.00 college scholarship for making the finals! We all had a great time in New York City and could not be more proud of Grace and what she accomplished!
