Thank you for posting that information. I have known Ann since I could walk (that's a long time) and worked for her as an assistant about 20 years ago when I THOUGHT I wanted to be a pro-handler. She was sooo good to me and I hate to hear this. Bigger than life, I hope she can pull through this! Doesn't speak well for the kennel club either.. I will definately be getting a card off to her.
