I saw a few handlers around her very nice and friendly to her and the crowd clapped so nicely for her and she just shined.................she was a local i do believe and i am hoping this was a great positive experience for her,,,,for ya never know in a few years she may be out there with a lovely select animal. She stuck out in my mind because i think she was the only one in the whole show who looked to be totally fresh and new to this. I could be wrong...............anyways just thought i would share since it was a rare occurence from the national. AMY I saw her too and spoke to her briefly. Her husband and small baby were standing beside me, and oh how they loved that dog. They were so thrilled to be there and were happy to be going home with him....they said he was the greatest with the baby, and hey guys, this is still what it is all about. Both John and I clapped for her and were so pleased Barbara watched him all the way around. I heard her tell her do a small circle once, and the gal went around anyway. Thanks to everyone that left them with a good experience, and thank you Barbara for giving them equal time.
