You should have seen him at the Atlanta Kennel Club show just before the Garden. Jimmy showed him on a 6 foot piece of fishing fillament and tied it to his wedding ring. The dog looked like he was off lead in the BIS ring. Jimmy never put a hand on him and never tightened the line.  Hatter never put a foot wrong and free stacked for the exam.  He was the ultimate showman!!!!!
