French Angora Monique Wins Best In Show at Hollister





Monique is getting ready to go to Hollister.  



She looks really good after the fluffing and priming.   It's hard not to take a couple of photos to preserve the beauty.




Monique will be 3 years old in a couple of months, could the dream of winning Best In Show still viable?



Monique won the Best In Show under judge Nate Burbidge in show B out of very stiff competition. 



Never stop dreaming, never stop preparing, never stop grooming, ... 



When luck comes, be ready to accept it.
