Then this month (December), they traveled to Orlando, FL where they competed in Juniors at the All Breed shows prior to the AKC Championships, where one day she made the first cut out a LARGE Open Intermediate class.

Then during the AKC National Championships, Apollo won an Award of Excellence (Award of Merit) over a lovely lineup of dogs, handled by Mac the whole way through!

Apollo finished the spring show season in style at the Yellowstone Valley Kennel Club dog show's in Billings!
He placed in Owner Handled Groups 7 times between Spokane, WA - Billings, MT, with two NOHS Sporting Group 3's, four NOHS Group 2's, and an NOHS Group 1, as well as an Owner Handled Best in Show in Billings!
On top of that he is now a multiple regular Group winner/placer, having gone regular Sporting Group 1 twice, and 3 once, as well as a regular Reserve Best in Show, also in Billings! Before all of that though, he went 3rd Money Male (Show) at the American Brittany Club's Western Futurity in Ritzville, WA 2022
Apollo finished the 2022 NOHS year as the #6 NOHS Brittany in the country.
