Consistency, style, and heart—that’s our Honey.
Delta  also had a stellar showing—earning Reserve Winners Bitch and Best  Canadian Bred Bitch at the National, followed by Winners Bitch at both  the Booster and Working Group shows, and Reserve Winners at two of the  all-breed events. She finished her CKC Championship in style.
