Mona is owned by Nancy Ballew but lives at Oakley while being shown. At 10 months, Mona went to all breed shows in Centralia, WA where she won the breed from the 9-12 puppy class over specials and went on to WIN the Sporting Group of over 237 sporting dogs under Christine Pollender-Calcinari. The next day, she won the breed again and went on to place Second in the Sporting Group under Patricia Mowbray-Morgan for an additional 220 group points. These wins rank this lovely puppy as #7 in the country thru April 2006. Her next shows were in Olympia, WA where she again won the breed under Richard Camacho and went on to place Fourth in the Sporting Group under Valerie Gervais for 119 more group points. She continues on her pursuit of her championship. Mona moved to #5 in the country until August 2006 and after she finished her championship, she went home to mature.
