National Best of Breed
This album contains those dogs who have earned the prestigious honor of National Best of Breed.

Prior to 2005, this was a honorary title given to the winner of the Best of Breed at our National Specialty.  In 2005, UKC approved our request and allows this win to be an official UKC title and presents a certificate to the winner.

Thank you Barbie and Shelly.

The first time I was introduced to Uno was at Premier 2005. Barbie asked me to show Uno
in the non-licensed puppy class. What a lunatic she was. Uno the Happy, Happy, Happy Puppy.

out of a large class.  What an amazing win.  

Uno career includes multiple BIMBS and RBIMBS.  Premi...
