"Mr. Speaker" said we just have to post this photo, cause he's a mighty proud daddy! This is "Pilot" (Firemark Prepare for Takeoff) with the goods she brought home from WINNING the Nevada State Championship Senior Puppy stake in early August. She also took a 4th in a grueling Derby (over dogs on the National Derby List) just days before her first birthday! Owner Melanie Foster says "I guess I named her well, because her career is certainly "taking off"! And much sooner than I expected, but I'm certainly not complaining." Keep your seat belts on for this one folks, cause this young lady is going places fast!
