Well.... we had a great weekend in Virginia this weekend - two specialty shows and one Futurity - full of quality dogs and wonderful dog friends. I got to talk to Tami Howard who let me pet Medusa; talk herding with Julie Degen; joke with Fred Migliore; and visit with Midwest folks that only come east every couple of years. The GSDC of Greater Washington DC offered a Temperament Test and I can tell you that the participants had a great time. It was fun watching Leon Breault play the "weird stranger." As for me, I can now officially call the brat that lives in my house: Ch. Naiyala of Crestview, TC Stay tuned for Nick and Nala's herding/tending clinic adventures in North Carolina next week.
