Laurie Mashiko Jordan of San Jose, Calif., gives Ch. Casadeloro's Classic Bentley a congratulatory kiss after the golden retriever won best in show at the Western Reserve Kennel Club Show.

 

 

Brook Park - Golden Retriever Ch. Casadeloro's Classic Bentley, owned by Bob and Janice Hess of Danville, Calif., was chosen best in show at the Western Reserve Kennel Club Show yesterday at the International Exposition Center.

Bentley also was best in show in Friday and Saturday's competition.  Each day more than 5,000 dogs were entered.

The top prize of $5,000 went to handler Laurie Mashiko Jordan of San Jose, Calif., while the dog got a romp in the snow for his efforts.

The dog's special treat is bites of bagels, which Jordan tempted him with in the ring.  The dog has won seven best in shows, four of them in the last two weekends.  "I'm ecstatic," said Janice Hess.  "I just can't believe it."

The dog is special to Jordan because she has been showing golden retrievers for 28 years and this is her first best in show for a golden retriever...

Richland County Kennel Club (Saturday)
Best in Show and sporting group: Ch. Casadeloro's Classic Bentley
