GiGi received her first point at her very first showing in April 2000. After a four year sabbatical from the show ring, during which time she whelped a litter of six beautiful puppies, she returned to the ring on March 18, 2004. In just two days short of seven weeks, GiGi received her remaining 14 points, including two four point majors, four BOWs, and finished her championship on May 9, 2004 -- expertly handled throughout, by Kay Palade-Peiser.
