Here’s a Grandma brag from two of the three NORCAL GRC Suzannes! Flaxen Fields Faraway Four Under Par – Hogan – just turned a year old and already has 5 points from the 9-12s puppy classes (including a Group 1!) plus a RWD his first time in the 12-15s. Hogan was bred by Sarah Wright and is owned by Trish Gonzalves (both of whom will soon be a NORCAL GRC members I hope!) and is co-owned by Sarah and Suzanne Fortner, who calls herself his caddie and does his wonderful grooming. Here is his pedigree.

Hogan is my [Suzanne Bria's] Finnegan’s first pup to show in the breed ring, so I am very proud indeed.

Event: At the Mission Trail, Oakland DTC, Hangtown KC, and Lost Coast KC shows on May 16 thru July 4th…

Blue ribbon bonanza! Ten in a row!! Finn made his obedience and rally debuts with Bill Anderson, and earned his Rally Novice, Rally Advanced, and Companion Dog titles, and one leg toward his Rally Excellent, in straight shows qualifying and winning First Place blue ribbons in each and every show! We are so proud of Finn and thank Bill Anderson for his expertise and ability to take a golden boy who is too serious on the one hand and far too goofy on the other, and find the perfect balance to achieve such success in the ring. Cheers to this team!
