“We are very happy to report that our “Skiff” has been pretty successful this year. He finished his Championship in August with 4 majors after very limited showing and completely out of the Bred-by Exhibitor class. At that point he went back to the field to finish up his JH at the PVGRC tests in October. He is now: *Ch* Tidalflats’ Sea Skiff *JH* WC. Sister “Selkie” picked up her fourth major in July and is now only 2 points away from finishing her Championship. We are very proud of both of them.”
