The top three winners: 2nd place score of 292 – Gustavo Sanchez & Ben Vom Haus Stavo,
1st place score of 293 – Michael Shliapin & Fantom vom Waldestraum, 3rd place score of 291 – Katie Gillies & Maya vom Gilbach
Woo Hoo—congratulations to all! I love how Ben is so focused on Gustavo.
I especially love the first photo – all three subjects are very good-looking and photogenic and Ben’s expression makes it look like a mutual admiration society. The scores were so close between all three that it almost could have been a three-way tie for first place. Ben should have gotten a few extra points for being most photogenic. In the last photo, the winner closed his eyes and the other dog wouldn’t even look at the camera, but handsome Ben posed perfectly.
Congratulations Gustavo!
