Benjie Marcus and new Champion Grady Grayson

Orangewood's first North Carolina born and bred champion fittingly finished at the Tarheel Cluster in Raleigh. In true white lightning form, he finished in a flash! I am so grateful to his breeders, Deborah and Tom Adams, for entrusting me with this sweet boy. And incredibly appreciative of Benjie Marcus and Marcus All Breed Handling LLC for exhibiting and caring for him so beautifully for me. 

Pending AKC confirmation, Grady is now Ch Orangewood's Smoky Mtn. Moonshine and Magick 

Sire: Buzz (Ch Orangewood's Talk O'The Town)
Dam: Jojo (Gch Ch Orangewood's There's Magic In The Air)

​Kelly Carl

We are so proud of this young man! He was a gift in handling class and Kelly showed him and won the first few days in Concord. Kelly had arranged with Benjie to take Grady at the end of the Concord circuit and Grady finished in 3 weeks and a weekend! At 16 months old! Now his sister Flora needs to catch up!
