Today is a day that will go down in history for the great dane as a breed, for one dane as an individual, and the team that made it happen. Today the breed got their very first OTCH/MACH great dane!!! Woo hoo!!! The fabulous dane is OTCH/MACH Sterlings Lazy Days Chntly Lace UDX6 RE MX MXJ aka "Tilly." Her wonderful handler is Gayle Smith. Tilly achieved the prestigious OTCH on September 3, 2006. And then her MACH today! For a little more information you can check her out on the GDCA's page. You can also check out more on her from her co-breeders' pages:

This most certainly is quite the accomplishment and something to be terribly proud of!!
I would also like to thank everyone for the well wishes and kind words yesterday. It means a lot!

Wow, that's phenomenal! I remember reading about Tilly in Front & Finish (I think) once and she was amazing. That's very inspiring to anyone with an uncommon breed!
SOOOOO amazing!!!! A truly remarkable accomplishment for ANY dog and for a Great Dane is just amazing!
Wow! That's impressive!
I just wanted to add that Tilly is 8+ years old! This is such a remarkable achievement at any age, but it's truly AMAZING to be running competitively at her age!
(Just to clarify... I mean it's an amazing feat at TILLY'S age... not Gayle's!!!)
