Thanks to the members of the Jackson club and all the exhibitors who showed their quality animals under me for my first provisional assignment. The hospitality was great, the handlers were polite as well as the owners whether they won or lost. I was very impressed with the number of nice dogs and bitches shown. Now, interesting watching everyone checking their iphones and a small TV watching the weather, actually Doppler radar while the storms raged mainly around us. We had a touch of rain but lots of wind which my hair hated very much. Interesting that only we Californians are not really afraid of earthquakes but the threat of a tornado scared me alot. The damage done close by proved that. I left Jackson at 6 AM this morning and arrived home at 11:20 AM, yes, my husband showed up with the grandson in the car. I did read one book on the way and another almost done on the way back. No puppies and the grandson for a couple of days at least. Congratulations to the winners on their 4 Pt. majors, I will let them brag but I will never forget them as they are the first pointed animals of my new judging career. Special thanks to Jim and Cyndi Flautt and Lee Brown for the great hospitality. Bobbie Rohan German Shepherds PS, not one sable shown under me, I can't believe that. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
