Parade of Titleholders

At each national event held by the Vizsla Club of America is a Parade of Titleholders.  This is a non-regular and optional event in which one can enter a titled dog and receive a very lovely rosette in return (of course one pays a fee for this!).  The dogs get to parade around the ring to the applause of the audience.  I have done it in the past with our dearly departed and wonderful Sasha and this year (2012 in Huron Ohio) was my opportunity to pay tribute to his daughter, Miska.  I was only allowed to put her American titles on the entry form but below, in full form, is her latest official reg'd name with all her titles (22 in total as of May 20, 2012 - 1 more than she had at the time of the entry).  And below is the blurb I submitted for the catalogue (restricted to 50 words max).

"Miska has earned 21 titles in various venues in two countries. She just completed her CDX and will start competing in agility.  Since Miska loves to retrieve the damned bird before another dog does, she would have had her SH by now. Miska is a joy and taught me to be careful about what behaviors I reinforce!"
