We were not sure what to expect when CC was shown for the first time
. . . she is very secretive, keeping us on a "need to know" basis about everything. In October 2011,
at six months of age, she made her debut conformation appearance in Belton, Texas, facing mature competition in the Bred-by
Exhibitor class. CC captured a reserve major win at the Bell County Kennel Club show on Sunday, October 23, 2011,
under Judge Gary L. Doerge. She captured her first point at her next show weekend, taking Winners Bitch, Best of Winners
and Best Opposite Sex at the Cypress Creek Kennel Club show under Judge Christine Erickson on November 13, 2011. She
had a clean sweep the following weekend at the Brazoria Kennel Club shows on November 19 and 20, 2011, under Judges Ann Hearn
and Norm Kenney, taking Winners Bitch both days from the Bred-by Exhibitor class, plus Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex
on Sunday. CC next captured back-to-back Winners Bitch wins at the Houston/Galveston County Kennel Club shows March
17-18, 2012, under Judges Lydia Coleman Hutchinson and Gloria L. Geringer. CC then took a couple of one-day show trips,
first to Navasota on March 31, 2012, for the Brazos Valley Kennel Club show, and then to Crosby on April 7, 2012, for the
San Jacinto Kennel Club show, taking Winners Bitch on both occasions, under Judges Norman L. Patton and Lenora M. Riddle.
