ARC’s Sunshine On A Cloudy Day (Sonny), has some good news to share:

He was awarded Winners Dog in Tulsa last weekend at the Golden Retriever Club of the Ozarks specialty show 🎉.

A very special thank you to breeder judge, Michele Gawenka, for recognizing and selecting my boy in a very competitive class of dogs, and to his wonderful handler, Jayce Galvez, for presenting him so beautifully in the ring.

Lastly, a thank you to all of you on team Sonny—Rebecca Barkelew, Ariella Harris, Cherie Fisher. Thank you for the bathing, grooming, the love you show him in my absence, and for the photos/videos of him, in and outside of the ring. I appreciate all of you so very much 😊.
