Yes, Hooray. The quality in both dog and bitch specials was so high I feel sympathy for those who could not witness the thorough judging that Ed did. He was so very careful in his pulls, and in the end there was simply a large group of awesome animals in there. As for time, how could there have been too much time taken ? Every one of those dogs deserved all the consideration they had. Yep, our breed is moving forward full speed.

This time many are saying, "hooray for our breed. Go Ed go". If you saw the quality of the males this year, you couldn't say a word. He could have gone with five or six more. And, this year, those who complained the last time must have realized that he knew what he was doing, and considered the quality of what was brought to him.
