Nimbus' Dog Show Achievements
Our wonderful boy Ch. Wolf River's Thunder Cloud WSX CGC (Nimbus) has
done extremely well in very limited and highly competitive showing. He has gone
Best Puppy and Best Opposite in Sweeps, won Open Dog, Working Dog, and the Brace
classes multiple times, gone Reserve Winner's Dog several times, and took his
first two Majors - all at Specialties! He finished his
championship with three majors.
