Yes Tom, you are correct. That was the year that Brix went GV. Also that was the first national that Mike was entered as a class dog. He was out of coat and leggy, and of course, did not win his class. I was young, new to the game and didn't know not to show him unless he was at his best. The next 12 months I did much better.-------Bob Freeny ----- Original Message ----- From: <Gsdbroon@xxxxxxx> To: <arelee_1020@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <TISHW@xxxxxxx>; <VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx>; <Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 5:52 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: 1968 National > And wasn't there a National in San Diego that the car lights had to be > turned on for also?
