January 5, 2002 - Hiedi became CH AQUADOT'S HIEDI GO SEEK. Hiedi went BOB under breeder-judge Marge Hutchins on Jan 5, 2001, finishing at the same show as "Sage." Hiedi was 3 weeks pregnant at the time so soon she will be having puppies! Congratulations (and good luck!) to Barbara Kossieck!

Sage, Ch. Bailiwick's Wisdomkeeper JH, finshed his AKC Championship January 5 under breeder-judge Marge Hutchins, making him the 2002 Dog of the Year! This has been especially emotional as Sage went missing about 2 weeks ago from a freak accident of a twin engine plane hitting a house. He-- thankfully--- was found alive with only cuts and scrapes, nearly a week after the accident. Congratulations, doubly, to breeder/owner Eileen Prezbindowski!!
