This is mostly true Norma. We did stay mostly on the west coast, but we did travel occasionally, and on one of those travels we ended up in Maryland, and Sonny Ambrosio gave Alexis a BIS. A few occasions, Stephen was unable to travel, and we ended up on the east coast and Scott Yergin showed Alexis, it was on one of those travels, where Kevin Reynolds was showing a special and Scott told me, we had our work cut out for us. The grounds were wet, it had been raining, the judge made the handlers and dogs work, but Alexis won the breed that day under Peggy M.... Thanks Norma for the memories...yes, I did enjoy those dogs, I lost Lex, just over two years ago, to torsion, she was 2 months shy of 11. I consider her my once in a lifetime dog...there have been others, and there will be more, but none like her...:-) Linda Jones Tara GSD's Ridgecrest, CA ----- Original Message ----- Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Eukenuba > well lots of east coast people might not know those dogs. i really > liked alexis and both steve and bill handled for me. jim told me he > finished alexis thats how I knew.
