Below is our girl, Ali (AKA CH Sonbar's Photogenic Pick). She is 6 months and 1 day old in the picture with Kari. At her very first dog show, she was awarded Best of Breed, over a male special, for a major. Later in the day there was puppy only groups, and she won the puppy group! That's the picture below. She also has another puppy group 1, at the only other show that had a puppy group.
