They have opened up the ring and the bitches are going in. Dottie and Earnie just pointed out that they are the owners and breeders of Flash Dance, and they have it wrong in the catalog. But, everyone knows that. I see Gloria Birch standing at ring side, and Bill Leonard just went by. Donna Callabrese is standing in front of me, so is Nikki, and Maralyn Smith. Dan and Maralyn and the Roots are having a great national. In the ring are the American Bred Bitches and they take up one side of the ring, and it is a big ring. I decided that it is about 70 yards long and I wonder about Saturday. They have checked them in, (Bob in the purple jacket and Debbie turns her back on the class, and tells them to take them around and she watches them as they go past. Her back is to the plain background and I suspect she will change the side before too long. This is one hell of a big class of dogs, and the people have woken up. She takes them twice and that is a real challenge. Everyone goes out except the first group of five. Everyone is breathing hard, even the big pros. Debbie has them set up at the other end of the ring, (of course) and is talking to the people doing the filming, and now goes to look at the group. Bill Leonard came by and said good things about the Godek bitch, and he is right. The first bitch out is with Mike, and I doubt anyone is going to beat her, that is Here I Am V Surigo, the bitch Bill was talking about. Bob Eaton Jr. just stopped by and we spotted his dad for him. Now Twylaâs bitch is going around and is a good one. Thurmond is standing talking to Georgie and Illiana. And more individuals. Linda and her Mother the stunning Joan are both standing next to the table and I am trying to listen to what they are saying. It is probably about me. It always should be. Kevin Renolds is sitting next to me, and he is always interesting to listen to. It is sure more interesting that watching the individual temperament test, which I equate to watching wood warp. She is now on the last one with Trish Wyle, I think. I canât see that far. It is very quiet in here, and I suspect that everyone is waiting to see what happens next. Now they line up, and stack. Kevin gives his bitch to Georgie outside the ring, he is in the next group. Debbie is waking down the line, giving them all a long look. She walks to the front and looks at heads. She walks to the other side and walks down the ring. First Micky then Diane, JR Sergio and Trish, and one I missed. Now the second group. I can barely see them. In there at the end of this huge ring is Bill Tank, then Terry Hower, then Liz, and Sean, and Christina and Georgie. A top group of handlers. Karen Wagner is talking to Mary Ellen Kish, and Bob is watching and giving advice. Debbie is looking at Terryâs bitch a very dark Bi, named Ruby Queen, and around he goes. Everyone is talking to each other, this is the slow part of the day. Sean is out there now and showing off his bitch. Now Christina is out there with Debbie and Debbie is bending down with every bitch to look at structure. I do wonder if she will be doing that tomorrow? Don and Back and around they go, where they stop, nobody knows. Christina is the smart one, and cuts the ring down to just humungus, and now it is Goeorgie in the center of the ring. A lot of the crowd seems to have left, or found something else to do. Too many people have left. The Greeens are here, and there go the bitches. In front is Bill Tank, and then the rest as they were, and out they go,, and the next group is in. First there is a young Jimmie Moses, then Joanne, next is Bart, then Alex, and Olivia, maybe not in that order. But, that is who is in there. Jimmie and Debbie are catching up on what they have been doing for the past few years, and Jimmie sets up Soladad OâBrien. I just saw the senior veteran for tomorrow who is going in at 11 and a half. We couldnât find a winner for raffle, and so we announced it again, and Ron Nunnally won the 50/50 raffle. He also won in Datona. Dan Smith is talking in ernest to Kent. In the ring Joanne is going around with On Your Mark a real typey bitch, and Tiffany just roared past to double handle. The bitch didnât seem to care. And Bart takes the middle of the ring with his bitch. Gloria Birch came by with a hot dog, and Scottie has her bitch and they are sharing. Tonyâs Daphine wife went first in Rally with her champion, and may be high scoring in the show and got the trophy they donated. Gloria is talking to me and Joey Perez is in front of us watching the show. Olivia is out there with her bitch and she is a good looking thing, and moves quite well. She stands her again for Debbie to look at, and if Joey would move, I could see what is going on. Not that it matters yet. Alex is out there, and I thinnk that is the last in this group, and another to go. Gary Szymzyk is wearing a shirt that say Pierzynski with number 12. I think it might just be because he found a name harder than his to spell. Is that football? Now Lauren has joined the group in front of me, and wearing a black jacket with silver lines on it. Great looking jacket. I would wear it. Ken Tank is standing next to me, and since he has number 392, he is going in with Irish Wiskey Rose, owned by Sherry McKinnon, who is fussing with a comb. This is the last group of bitches, so it will start to heat up soon. Now Jimmie is standing in front of me, I will tell him to move, but I am not that brave. Debbie picks up some junk and now watches them go around on the other side, against the blank wall. She gives everyone a good look. And back they go with Ken Tank in front, for now. One at a time, and there goes Ken, with Irish Wiskey Rose. Gail Sprock came to chat, and I told her how great the September issue of the Review was, and it was indeed. Scottie is going around with his bitch and the crowd did react, he has Georgia on My Mind. There they go around again, and Debbie is watching them from a single center view. Now in they all come. It is 3:30, and I canât imagine why she is not tired. Twyla Minor just came by, trying to double handle with a crutch. Knee problems, and there they all go, lined up in a very long line. Loreen is telling Yolanda how to double, and puts her at the end of the ring. Debbie walks down the line from about 20 feet out, and looks them over, and sends back against the fence all of them. Debbie is pulling from the group, in front is Mikie then Terry, I see Jimmie, Olivia, Leslie and a few I canât see from this far. She lets half of the back half go, and takes the rest around and there they go with Sean in front. Debbie looksthem over and walks over to them and pulls Jeff Pyle out, and lets the rest of them go. Then there were ten. And she walks down the line with them right next to her, and takes some time and pets a few, but now all of them. Debbie tells them to take a pass, and goes to stand to look at the wall, as they each go by. In front is Mike, then Terry, George, Jimmie, Bart, Olyvia, Leslie, Diane and Jeff. One more I canât see. Alex has come to sit at the announcerâs table, and there she goes to arrange them. First is Mike, then Jimmie, it looks like Leslie then Liz. But, they are 70 yards down wind, so as they go I will correct it. She takes the rest with Terry in front, George, Bart, Olivia and Diane. She walks to those five and points to Georgie, and gives him hope for bit more. She lets the rest go, and now there are six. And they are off iwth Mike then Jimmie, Leslie, and thatâs it. First is Marquisâ Here I am V Surigo, (the Futurity Winner), second Sajaleâs Soladad Oâ Brien V Kenlyn third is Darby-Danâs Miranda and fourth is Windy Acresâ Winner Takes All. It is going to be hard to beat that bitch for Winnerâs Bitch and I suspect Happyandyouknowit is going to be a hard act to follow when it comes to Grand Victrix. More to follow.
