Here's a very nice multi champion girl. She is a true black daughter of Lancaster. Our Lancaster blacks are some of the nicest blacks we own, with great microns and a tremendous feel. Corinee took her color champion at the Oklahoma show among good competition. She earned that banner. Corinne also has 2 other reds at competitive shows, The VAOBA show in December and the Northern Illinois show in October. This girl will be a great date with Jacob Black. It should be black, and it should be fantastic! Update: Corrine is starting out the new year as expected, wtih a Reserve Color Champion at the Level 5 show, Southern Select, under Jude Anderson. Awesome banner! Corrine takes another blue and a Reserve Color champion at MOPACA, behind our own Show Stopper as ColorChampion! Update: Well, folks, let's meet the Futurity Reserve Color Champion! Yes, that's right, she won that prestigious award at the April, 2013 Futurity show in Kansas City! And she took the reserve behind an Irish Meadows Peruvian Knight Rider girl!
