Hi everyone! I know I'm a little late getting this out, but this month, I'd like some nominations for Dog of the Month. Preferably, I don't want a REALLY popular (like numbers 1-5 on the list) breed, but if the dog is REALLY exceptional, feel free to post anyways! Just fill out this form! I'll leave this open until Sunday the 18th on Monday the 19th (depending on when I get back from my agility trial this weekend), so just post away!

Remember, even if it's a rare breed that doesn't get group and/or show placements, I'll still consider them for Dog of the Month! I want a dog that's amazing, not just a popular breed! Thanks everyone!

I know this might sound bad but is it okay if you nominate one of your own dogs?

Ditto above, and do they have to be currently showing still or could they have been retired a bit ago?

If I can nominate my own dog:

Dog's Name:GCH CH Calms Billie Jean
Bred by: Calming Waters
Owned by: Calming Waters
Breed (and breed's ranking, if you know): English Setter... Just looked up her ranking and shocked to see she was #1!!!
SOP: 87.2
Top SOP for breed: 88.2; 87.9
Breed Wins: 29 Best Of Breed Wins
Group Wins: 1 Group Win- Pommigold October Show, judge Ruth Miller
Titles: GCH CH; working on obedience
Age: 61 Days
Show Wins: Multiple group placements, BIG Winner, BISS winner,
BISS Wins: English Setter Playdare on 11/6, judge Bennie Wilkens
Merits: None
Winnings: $360
Other Wins: BOS National Specialty; top 10 November NSSD Challange
Notes: She finished her CH and GCH before she was 30 days. She has a variety of group placements, for a breed that doesn't place in groups very often. Billie Jean is a phenominal bitch, and the best dog I have ever bred. Luckily for me, she has done a lot of winning in a short amount of time.

Please consider Billie Jean for your dog of the month.

Dog's Name: GCH CH Millbrook Rio Grande
Bred by: Millbrook Kennel
Owned by: " "
Breed: Borzoi
SOP: 93.85
Top SOP for breed: 94.5 (I think)
Breed Wins: 60
Group Wins: 21
Titles: GCH CH
Age: 122
Show Wins: 6
BISS Wins: 1 BISS, 3 2nd in Speciality show
Sire/Dam of Merit Awards: Bronze Sire
Winnings: $5,422
Any special reason they're being nominated:
He is the most successful dog I have ever bred in my 5 odd years on SD. He has beaten over 27,500 dogs, which I think is pretty incredible! He has also sired 10 champions and achieved Bronze Sire. Furthemore, he is a 2x BOB winner at the SDWC and came 5th in the NSSD challenge. To me, he is a truly first rate dog, that thoroughly deserves "Dog Of The Month".

Thanks for the nominations! And, yes, of course you can nominate your own dog, and they don't have to currently be showing...the last Dog of the Month was a week or two past 120 days.

And, it's going to be so hard for me to pick! Even with the two who are already nominated, it's nearly impossible to decide! What's probably going to happen is that I'll pick 2 or 3 and use them for the next few Dog of the Month articles.

This is now CLOSED. I'll pick one dog as the Dog of the Month for December, and one for January...I'll PM the two people I pick within the next few days with the interview. Thank you three for nominating the dogs, and helping me out with picking! It's always so tough, with so many good dogs out there!
