Although I had orginally gotten Slim to use in our breeding program, once he arrived and looked great, I decided to enter him in a few shows. He had some nice wins during 2009, including being awarded an Award of Merit at the Tibetan Spaniel Club of American National Specialty in Dallas, Texas on July 2, 2009. This win, pictured below shows, from left to right, Judge Lester Mapes, Slim and me, Kay Dickeson and TSCA President Mallory Driskill.
