Carolyn - You are an outstanding judge that judges in both rings,but until today I didn't know that you were also a poet. That "kidney stones scooped out with a spoon" line is just breathtaking.

I believe the first such cluster was Louisianna Memorial Day weekend started by Lee Brown. There are now several more. You severe elitists need to quit complaining, join your local AB club, have imput on those shows, attend some AB shows, and see some of the truly good dogs that are winning. I find that most of those who say they would rather have their kidney stones scooped out with a spoon than go to an AB show are the ones doing the most complaining.
