Scott Trahane is entitled to his opinion on what dog he liked its his saying the dog was overlooked??????Open and reserve at a National is certainly not overlooked..Any one of a number could have been winners the quality was that deep...But I was on the floor with the animals and Maybe I could see something the exhibitors didnt>>>>I gave all reasons as to my decision..I also liked the open..I do not like to critique Judges and wont..We all see things differently..As long as a good one wins...The picture of the open and reserve is the winners dog from American bred...Barbara Amidon http://www.geocities.com/amberkennel ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
