Riptide’s Belle of the Ball, aka Ellie, competing for her first time at the Orlando shows this week is performing beyond my expectations. Tuesday, under Judge Mrs. Terry M. DePietro, Ellie won second place in the 6 to 9 month puppy class. Again, today, under Judge Mrs. Beverly Vics, Ellie went second in the 6 to 9 month class. We took a lovely photo with the judge today, make sure to look out for it.

Ellie is what is considered an Irish pwd, as she has a white collared coat. She was so sweet with the judge’s inspection and her gait around the ring was lovely. I see great things for this little girl in the future. I just knew that she was special from the first moment she entered our lives and resembled my sweet Belle so closely.
