The Futurity begins. The first thing is that Debbie takes them around twice. Oh lord! They opened the ring and the first one out is Lesslie. Jeff Mobies is standing in front of me, and that isnâ??t so bad, but Dave Rinke is next to him. I see Ben trying to get his breath. There are eleven dogs in there, and Jimmieis talking to Sharree., and Jerry has his dog, and Bill Tank is in theres as well. I see Bart has an entry, and everyone is breathing hard. This is one big ring. I see that Patty Breau is standing next to the ring giving directions, and Diane Brown is setting her dog. Leslie is still in there, and Debbie is taking her around, the crowd seems to like that dog, Summer Premeire. Now, out to the center goes Destry. Everyone has a chance to get some air, and this dog stands, but seems to want to look for the owners, not a problem as far as I can see. Loreen is standing in front of me now, and there is Ernie and Dottie Weight. I see Eddie Troke talking to Pat Brown who decorated the ring, and it looks better than ever before. The crowd is a bit quiet now, and there goes Dan Smith, he looks nervous, and is talking to Leslie, (he owns the dog she is showing). Christine Granger is limping by, she broke an ankle and is on crutches. Thurmond just came by to say hello, we both have Maturity dogs. Bob is ring stewarding again, and in red this part of the show. Now Scottie goes out with Naugatuck, a dark good looking dog of Susie Witmers. He stands for the camera, and there goes Ann Barbash. Watching. Debbie does the individual, and I canâ??t imagine how she can pick from this many good looking dogs. Pam Oâ??Dell just walked by with Dean Wylie right behind. Down and Back, she asks him to do it again, and then around. It is quiet in the ring, and other than the first one, all you hear is some applause and bells. Itâ??s Kentâ??s turn with Army a Rollins son. No problem with the individuals and he sets him up. Sheree Moses just walked by and Kevin Renolds is standing in front of me now. I thinnk everyone needs to get in front of me at least one time. I see Mike Sherman walking around, and Jimmie is talking to Kevin. Apollo is in the ring and stands fine, just more individuals. I went to say hello to Kevin Renolds, who looks good. I did get a hug from Tom McPheron, and Debbie Kaser is walking by and there goes Paul Root, looking like he is in charge. Waiting in the ring is Bart with Shock//Nâ??Yall. He stacks and most of the people arenâ??t that interested yet. Kent is laughing and talking to Tom Castrioto, who seems to be taking it easy. Norma is there at the side of the ring. There are quite a few people here for a Futurity, and next up is Diane Brown with Mich a Harrison son. I saw Many Campt as minute ago, and you can get to the ring on three sides, and it is so big, you couldnâ??t get around it anyway, so three sides seems like enough. I did see Susie Witmer a minute ago, and we continue to move along. Tiffany Bartly did come by, and I was told that Tammy wants to be her for the Studd Dog Class, that would be fun. Scottie is waiting to go in with Voodoo Drums, and good looking dog. So far I like the movement on Army the best, but there is along way to go. Everyone seems to stand just fine for the individual temperament test, it is not a problem. Al Martin is talking to me The crowd likes Voodoo Drums,a nd I do too. Now in the middle is Bronson with Jerry Graham. Paul just came by and said he was the weird stranger for 70 dogs. He does not have much of a voice left. But he looks good.. The Bronson dog is a good one, and the crowd recognizes it. I think Debbie may lke him. Bill tank in is now with Crux Control, a dog he owns with Will Guerry and Nichole Daniel, (Nickky) I see Nickky is not showing anything, she is one of the better young handlers out there, and has a great future. Next up is Ben Bigornia with Daytona a Hoodlum son. I know the dog, and he should look good in there. Good individual, and that is the last dog, so now Debbie has to make some choices. It is twenty to five, so this is going to be a long evening. I keep getting more and more nervous. Will Guerry came to talk to me, says he nees more from California to be here to cheer. The crowd likes Benâ??s dog, and a bit of noise. There they all go, stacked in a row. Eleven showed up and the gameâ??s afoot. Gloria Birch is standing ring side now and Debbie goes over to the table and puts on her glasses and has a notebook in the other hand. She looks down the group and goes to the front from the back and starts to pulls out a coupls, and tells those six to go around, I am not sure what group that is, but they look like her keepers. Now she tells the rest to go around, there are five there. In front, if that is the front is Leslie. First is Summer Premier then Naugatuck and third is Army, then Voodoo Drums. Debbie looks over them all, and goes to the front, and she is looking at her first three and tells number three to move back to fifth. Now in third is Army.This first group is her keepres and she is looking them all over again. Now she looks at the last of the hopefuls, (but not much). It looks like she has them in the order she wants, and tells them to take a pass. Now some double handling as they go around with Leslie giving her 12 foot of lead and she looks all the way back, and thaâ??s it, Nikirees Summer Premiere for the Futurity Dogs._ Evan _Asgard German Shepherds_ (http://www.asgardgsd.com/) http://www.asgardgsd.com/ Where Type Movement and Temperament come together ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
