KISSES FOR HICKORY

Foxclift Hickory Wind

better known as just plain Hickory to her friends,

was named Best In Show

at the 135th. Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

Tuesday Febuary 15th. at Madison Square Garden.

Hickory is a five year old and the first

Scottish Deerhound to ever win at

Westminster.

It was all hugs and kisses when Hickory was named

"Best In Show"

by renowned judge Paolo Dondina

of Monterchi, Italy.

Angela Lloyd, Hickory's trainer, was brought to tears at the

announcement Tuesday night. She also spoke of the

rich bond she has with the lovable Deerhound.

Hickory's owner and breeder, Cecilia Dove.




This past week was a whirl wind week for the champion
with lots of appearances and events.
For a dog that likes the quiet life,
she has truly handled the fame
with style and grace.

Hickory was even treated to a steak at the famous

Sardi's Restaurant in

New York City.

Now that the excitement is over

Hickory is ready for some, much deserved

rest and relaxation.

She is retiring to her owner's fifty acre farm in

Virginia.

Congratulations Hickory,

and kisses to you!
