Finally have some time to sit down and take a minute to post after returning from the shows and Futurity/Maturity in Southern California! The highlight of the weekend for me was when Strider aka GCh. Rohan's Reward ROM,TC,CGC,HT,RE,CDX wonthe Veteran class and went on to be awarded Select in a large quality filled specials class. At 10 1/2 Strider still loves to strut his stuff in the big ring and didn't miss a beat! Thank you so much, Rita Sandell for your nice comments on him and for awarding this veteran dog Select over dogs much younger than him. What a very nice win from such a well respected judge. Thanks to Art Sinclair for showing him in Veterans and to Debbie Hopkins for taking him in for BOB competition and gaiting him to the Select win. Strider's daughter Covy Tucker Hill's Mystic Fire showed in her "lingerie" ....she was so totally out of coat we almost pulled her but she is young and needed the practice so we left her in. My hotel room carpet that started out burgundy color each day was a light tan and black from the amount of coat she lost each day. i have never had a bitch blow coat like this. Glad we double entered in the Mid-Pacific so hopefully she will have coat by then. The shows were very well organized and run. The show grounds are right at the hotel and the two host clubs, Orange Coast GSDC and GSDC of Long Beach spoiled us with great snacks (actually enough for a light dinner) at the 4 o'clock show on Friday and then a great pizza dinner after the second show on Saturday. All complimentary!!!! Thank you to both clubs! Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning GCh.
