2001 Show Highlights --
(For health reason we have been unable to show since June 17th, but look forward to showing more next spring.) June 16-17th --At the Dist 7 LaMancha Specialty, Krystal was Best of Breed for the second year in a row. The GCH was Lucky Star's F La'attitude owned by Sarah Glunt. Noteworthy 1st place yearling followed by Narnia. Nyx (now owned by Cade Brown) was the GCH Kid. We also had the 1st place Breeders Trio and Kareem's get was the first place Get of Sire.
In ring 2 under Karen Senn a-LLure was GCH and Best of Breed. Krystal was second to her in CHCH. The yearlings placed the same.
On Sunday--Jewel was the Grand Champion with Krystal going Best of Breed. Krystal's kid Paradigm was the GCH Kid. We are very proud of the way the does did.
June 2nd --(Due to a shoulder injury on Judi) we took only Jewel to the show. She was Best of Breed in one ring and RGCH in the other 2 rings. This makes her our newest permanent GCH and the fourth generation GCH!
May 26th --Jewel went to her first show this year and won a leg toward her GCH with 22 milking Lamanchas-Thank you Jerome Mensch. Jewel pictures! Narnea was 1st place yearling in one ring and second in the other, followed by Noteworthy. It was fun to see another lovely Kareem mammary. We would also like to congratulate Hyseck's on winning GCH buck in both rings with *B Lucky Star's QK Lewsia. GCH Lucky Star's F Krystal 2*M was BOB in both rings. All in all a good day!
May 5th --Noteworthy Dandy Family Page went to her first show this year and placed 1st, twice, in the yearling classes and Reserve Champion once. Nakita was the second place yearling. Pearl and Paradigm also had reserve champion wins.
2000 Show Highlights --
 Kareem is our newest GCH when he was 3 times GCH at the July 16th Buck show in Grandview Washington. BUCK PAGE for picture of Kareem.
He joins a-Llure and Krystal who have also finished their championship this year. BEWITCHED PAGE for picture of a-Llure and Delphinium/Ebony PAGE for picture of Krystal.

 Western Washington Fair on September 14, 2000-- Judge John White. We were thrilled when the champion line-up had a-Llure as the 1st place 2 year old, Krystal as the 1st place 3 year old and our beloved Jalepeno as the 1st place 4 year old. That seemed enough for the day, but Jalepeno was selected GCH and then went on in a very tough Champion Challenge class to be the Best of Breed and finally later in the day was selected BEST DOE IN SHOW!! Thank you John White, to have the breeder of the lovely One Oak Hill Lamancha herd select our doe, made it all the more special. We also had the 1st place Breeders Trio, Dairy Herd, Get of Sire-Senior and Junior. Krystal's doe kid, New Age, was the RGCH Kid. It was a great day for us. There were 11 fellow Lamancha breeders at the show and some very lovely does with well over 1/2 the milkers being already finished champions so we were very honored to have our does do so well.
