Susanna Completed Her First Round of Showing

Born in early 2020, Susanna did not have a chance to go on the show table during her junior months.   When there were shows up to the end of February, she was still a baby.  By the time she was old enough to be shown, the shows were all cancelled.   The first time she went to a shows, she was already a senior.

Without a lot of shows, Susanna still managed to win 12 legs with one all breed Best In Show and one all breed Reserve In Show.  

After holding on to her coats for over a year, it's time for her to take a hiatus.

Would she like to try motherhood?  We don't know.
