First I would like to publicly thank BEN BIGORNIA for his time and effort at these shows. Without Ben & his lovely Kathy, we would not have had a ring to show in, or canopies for the handlers, or tables for the lunch or a generator to dry our dogs or... I think you all get the idea. THREE CHEERS for BEN!!!!!!!!!!! CHEER!!! CHEER!!! CHEER!!! Also CONGRATULATIONS to Ben, Kathy and Jene & Isabelle Dupzyk on finishing their Nemo on Sunday. I'm sure Isabelle will fill you all in. :) On another note, someone lost a 12' or 16' fairly new black show lead on Saturday. Would all of you that were there please check your cars & gear to see if you ended up with an extra? If so, please let me know. Small brag for Eric and myself... 1st BBE dog both days was our Norhaus-Dream Come True Thunder Road better known as Bruce. At almost two years of age, he is really growing up. Bruce is sired by New Era's Tarzan and out of BOF Norhaus Gabrielle. For those of you on the east coast, Bruce moves a lot like his Aunt "Butter" (Am/Can Ch Norhaus Better Be Worth It Avonly) Thanks to Bob Moore for letting him play with the Am Bred & Open dogs in winners, and to all for the ring support and complements on our boy. A couple of people even commented that he is very much like his grandpa Charles.
