Mario is a finished champion with two majors, and multiple class placements at specialties.  At the 2006 Spirit of St. Louis LRC Specialty, Mario was awarded BOS in Sweeps under Michael Hamilton and Best Puppy under Jeff Gilmore.  More recently Mario won Best in Sweeps under Karen Helmers at the 2007 Shawnee Mission LRC Specialty.  The second day of that specialty Mario finished his championship in style, taking Winner's Dog, and Best of Winners under Linda Oldham.  Mario was wonderfully handled by Kyle Snyder (13 years old).  On the day Mario won Best in Sweeps, his littermate Blossomhill's Isabella won Best Opposite in Sweeps.  What a great weekend!!
