My personal experience with Larry Cornelius
I am Josie O'Brien, the List Owner of CyberScots. I purchased my Wheaten Scottish Terrier, Destiny's Optima Card, from Susan Finn. Susan Finn is also the breeder of Stage Door Johnny, the 1997 Montgomery Winner (handled by Larry Cornelius). Susan Finn and Stage Door Johnny's owner, Caren Dieumegard, also are the proud recipients of the Lloyd Trophy at this year's Montgomery STCA Dinner.
Molly Sue, my Wheaten Scottish Terrier, (Destiny's Optima Card) was handled by Larry Cornelius. Molly Sue stayed with Larry to be conditioned for the show ring. Molly Sue began showing the last weekend of September (one weekend before Montgomery) and returned home to us on December 9, 1998. Larry Cornelius has a special place in Molly Sue's heart. Molly Sue loved to show for him. Larry was able to acquire Molly Sue's Championship in just five short weeks. He and Heidi (an Associate Handler) achieved two Best of Breeds in that time and Molly Sue also placed at Montgomery in her second weekend out.
Needless to say, I respect Larry for his professionalism and integrity in showing Molly Sue. I would highly recommend him without any reservations. Molly Sue returned home so well-adjusted it was as though she had never been gone.
