I remember the Lexington National well. The only place that it was warm was in the john. My first National to show a dog was in Phoenix. I entered Scotmars Hunting Man,aka George, a litter brother to Scotmars He's My Guy.,WD at Denver National.George was handled by Doyle Williams.George was a Santana's Man O War son and when Doyle saw him , He insisted on showing him instead of me.The dog judge that year was Art Stramitz(spelling?) Specials were judged by Bob Denton. That was the first time i had seen Mannix. He was lying at ringside and looked like any other pet. Then I saw him in the ring. WOW !! What a Dog !! I still remember seeing Hollomors Judd, Rex Edlumibach,Reno and other GREATS. Bud P.S. George didn't win. In a message dated 12/7/2011 2:36:34 P.M.

Ralph Roberts judged and CTH Rosemary went GVX and Padechma's Persuasion I think was GV. Rosemary's mom Angelique took 3rd select. Those 2 mom and daughter were quite a beautiful pair. First overall national was the Canadian national in 73, year after I got into GSD's. Molly In a message dated 12/6/2011 3:07:56 P.M.

I remember seeing The Phantom (who wasn't shown), CH JJ--but that National began my love for sables. I got to see CH Aspen of Fran Jo, who became the Grand Victor. WHAT A DOG! It still gives me the shivers to remember seeing him float around the ring and thinking that I had to get one of those--lol. WOW.
