The GSDC of Long Beach and the Orange Coast GSDC held beautiful, well organized shows and hosted the South Pacific Region Futurity/Maturity. These shows were a pleasure to attend. It is a convenient location to stay, as well as having beautiful grounds for the show. It was a large well-supported entry of gorgeous dogs. I was musing about the shows, before I head out to my deposition. It went so well, due to the help of those who worked so hard. Dick Jennings not only was Show Secretary, did the catalogs and acted as Ring Steward. The Katibs, (known as Summer's family), were there to run for what we needed, helped set up and tear down the ring, brought the cooker, and worked to cook the food and serve it. Tedi of course and Twyla who did the work with the AKC, and everyone else who pitched in. It only looked like it went smoothly, and everything was a last minute problem, but ended up working out. The key was having professional judges, exhibitors and handlers who were helpful in doing what needed to be done. It takes a small village, and thankfully we are a village, and no one is the sheriff and that seems to work. We don't even have a town drunk. Then it helped to have such fantastic quality of dogs shown, not just numbers entered. Maybe this is the beginning of the return to the dogs shows as we remember them. After we tore down the show, I looked at the grounds, and it was as if we were never there. I talked to the motel staff and thanked them for the help, and they expressed that they hoped we would return for our next shows. What a change from those who never want us to return. We do thank everyone who worked to make it a great show, with a large entry, and quality dogs, top judging, and weather to show up the rest of the country.
