Jimmy has also proven that he can take just about anything in an all-breed ring and win with it too! Here's a funny story... Back when Jimmy was still campaigning Mystique he ended up in Lakeside Arizona (look that one up some time! ...It?s BFE Northern Arizona). There was a local person there that had asked Jimmy if he would show their dog in the open class for them. Well, I took a second to Jimmy that day with Judy Mendelsohn dog and while we were standing there waiting for our ribbons he flat out apologized to me. We ended up actually having a pretty good laugh about the whole thing. Have a great day!!! -Rick Haase www.members.cox.net/ricknaudra/index.htm www.gsdcsaz.org ------------------------------ Msg: #4 in digest From: Falkrigia@xxxxxxx Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 08:07:12 EST Subject: Re: the all breed ring In my opinion there are as many poor quality dogs in the Specialty ring as in the All Breed ring. What is forgotten is that a good dog that meets the standard can go into either ring and perform and win. I think over the years Jim has proven this point by winning in both rings.
