It doesn't take much of a glance at the List of dogs that Ileana mentions at
the bottom
to realize that the "cream of the crop"...... was at this National. Great
quality ....great dogs
A veritable "buffet' of beautiful dogs to choose from. A credit to the
judges who drew them!
Anyone who had to stay home......you missed a really good one and we all missed
seeing you!!
We who were there had a great time seeing great dogs and great dog people in a
nice and
pleasant relaxed atmosphere.
The National site was wonderful......tons of grass, easy access to the arena,
RV's, herding, motels
and restaurants and the Utah people were friendly everywhere.
Yes......there was dirt at the stalls.....and there always will be when we use
horse arenas...but
it was not overwhelming.
The pine shavings in the arena around the edge for double handlers caused some
real dust problems
but the arena itself was great......no bad seats...easy access to a reasonable
concession stand ...and
Kevin was there with his 'Cater-mobile'.with great food.
<G>
We were excited to see the beautiful Futurity dog, Winners Dog and Select dog
sired by our Cowboy
make a wonderful debut after going RWD on Tuesday. This big stallion male
just turned two the day
after the National was over and was owners first National which made it even
more fun.
His sire managed to lead the final cut........<G>
Went the same in herding for Cowboy as he qualified for one leg on his
HSAS....but that was it. He
did a great job.....but screwed up on his 'outrun' on the other.
Our highlight was watching our G.Vx. 'BO' ( Black Orchid ) fly around the ring
for Parade of Greats.
( I cry easier as I get older......<G> )
For those who missed it......you missed a really good one....lots of great dogs
and people.....and now
we all begin to watch PAULA'S COUNTDOWN for another one...........<G>

We went to Utah and came back with Dexter's latest award.....he is now:
American Select Excellent Champion and Canadian Select Champion Karizma's
Cacique of Inquest, TC
Bred by Iza Kabuska, handled perfectly by Alex Mues, SPOILED by Tuti, and
owned by Pablo & Ileana Nogueras.
Thank You to the secret admirer who generously pick our dinner tab Friday
night to celebrate DEXTER.
I know who you are <G>.... that was such a nice thing to do.
The drive was long (3 days each way) but the scenery was breathtakingly
beautiful. We had plenty of time to get there and let the dogs settle in. I
thought Jackie would be up to go herding on Tuesday, but she kindly informed
me that I was wrong, and she needed more beauty sleep. So I guess we
donated $50 to Herding. <G>.
Utah was a great site. My only suggestions for improvement would be to
get the dust under control in the arena, and for the stalls to be cleaner.
The hotels were surrounded by places to eat, shopping, coffee houses. It was
awesome. And the few Utah club members that were there didn't stop for a
minute, they were constantly doing something, helping someone, fixing
something. WOW!! Where did they get their energy from?
The judges......all 3 of them should take their show on the road, their
commentaries at the Victory dinner were quite entertaining.
Small entries, GREAT quality of dogs. I do agree that males were
exceptional. But not to be outdone, here comes the WB, GVX and BOB......what
a
bitch!!
Congrats to all the winners, it was specially meaningful to be in a class
of 11 select males, 9 of which were Select Excellent. Congrats to all the
breeders, owners and handlers.....well done.
The photographers, the quick turn around with the pictures was well
received by all, great job.
The best part was walking into the building and seeing......SOD!! and
room to double all around the ring. We are finally getting somewhere.
Seating was plentiful, and since doublers were at ringside, the viewing was
great.
Streaming video....I screwed up my info, and did not help as I planed to
do, but I did check with those in the cameras to see if they needed help.
However, there were plenty of volunteers to get the job done. A giant KUDOS
to Lanalee for putting this together. I think she should run this program,
she has great ideas to not only continue offering Stream Video, but to make
its availability even better.
Maybe the small entry had a positive effect, because there was an air of
relaxation we all appreciated. No incidents between exhibitors.....ahhhh.
So many friends doing so well. A special congrats to Joey and Kathy on
their beautiful girl going select. To Leslie on a great handling job on the
GVX. To Sandy and Don Stack, on their RWB (who is our TJ's granddaughter), to
Randy and Darlene on Sienna's Select. To Iza on breeding the GV and 2
selects on Maddie and Dexter (talk about having a good National), To Greg on
Fletchers select. To Dexter's dad, Mr Bronson, on another select. To the
Peters on their first select. To Greg Eschette and his clients (the nicest
people) on their first Select. To Abby on the select on the most gorgeous
sable bitch. To Mike and Susan Cheeks and Jeff on Kanye's select. We like
to
hang out together....<G> A special thanks to Susan Cheeks for all the love
she has for Dexter, even when her own dog is in the ring. Congrats to Tish,
George, Lenny, Nancy..........Linda Selmon, whenever you come back down to
earth, congratulations on your BP.....LOL..........gee, I could go all
nite, but I am beat and going to bed, so if I forgot someone, beat me up
with a
reminder and I will be THRILLED to publicly congratulate you. I am flying
blind without a catalog here....LOL
On to next year.
