Bill Basu wrote: Firstly, i would not go to Dog Shows if i were not having fun. Fun is a pre-requisite. Fun is provided by seeing beautiful dogs whether they be mine or those handled by others. Fun is provided by competing against other dogs and handlers(Competition is fun) Fun is showing to a judge with a high level of knowledge and integrity Fun is joking around and sharing "lies" and "stories" with my friends Fun is talking "dogs" with other people who enjoy talking dogs Fun is having very fattening food during lunch(especially the cookies) Fun is sharing a big part of our lives with people who share the same passion, although they may see things differently, the diversity of opinion is a source of fun. Winning is the icing on the cake, but Winning without all the ingredients that i've written above is a hollow and lonely victory and would not bring me to dogs shows by itself. So FUN is a key ingredient for me.

I doubt anyone denies I am in it for the fun of the sport. Those who have seen me in the ring, know I am not showing off any skills. The professional handlers that run me into the ground, know that I am not doing it for my talent. Evan ............................................................................ .. I confess! First time I saw Evan in the ring I laughed and that was a long time ago, before his various and sundry crashes. The first time I saw Gloria in the ring my mouth fell open and I groaned. First time I say Ernie Weight in the ring, or doubling I laughed... Dare I go on? And when I went in the ring, even the judge was laughing - I mean seriously - out loud! But I saw one thing that was clear in all of the above cases and more, there are those who may appear awkward and without athletic talent, but they know how to present the dog in its best light. Don't let Evan snow you! Even with a red coat on, he can make the dog look good, even at his own expense! Now that takes talent. Looking forward to having him back in the ring.
