Kay, Theresa Royer, and I are having WAY too much fun out here on the Left Coast. All three of us are currently showing ranked GSD Male Specials. We are together a lot. Theresa and I missed Kay this weekend. In 30-some years in the breed, I had NO idea that rivals could have SO much fun at the All-Breeds!! We love our dogs, we love GSD's, and we have three wonderful ambassadors of the breed. Three wonderful, handsome, sound GSD's in the Specials ring ain't a bad sight. I can't help but clap for all three of them. They make us proud and the spectators seem to love them, too. Now, I will let you in on my little secret: One of the neatest things at the all-breeds is that, when Kay's Strider wins, I get to hug Art. When Theresa's Flex wins, I get to hug Mr. T (Nick). And, best of all, when my Harley wins, I get to hug them both...........plus JR. :-) :-) California must have some of the hottest guys in the sport. Oh, and really nice dogs and owners, too. Another cool thing, even when we get shut out, like we did today, I still get to hug all these guys. :-) :-) :-) Paula, 162 days and counting Home of Best in Show, Multi-Group Winning, GSDCA Dual Title Award Recipient, AKC JAM/AOE, International and American Champion Asgard Harley Davidson v Plamark, HT, PT, CGC, TC, HIC, OFA CHIC #64047, DNA tested clear of the long-coat factor. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Kay Springer <SHOWGSD@xxxxxxx> Subject: A Win and OFA certification Date: Sun, 2 May 2010 17:36:52 -0700 Yesterday at the Gavilan KC show in Northern California, Scherzar's Son of a Witch (Merlin) won his 12-18 class and went on to Winner's Dog.
