Great post Bill. We need more of we old gray hairs to encourage these youngsters. Proud to say I had a hand in a couple of them. Amy Riely and the Biz Z (Zak Hudspeth) that are now Pros. BTW: They are doing pretty well too. One of them I am very upset with. She got three RWB's on my bitch this last weekend in four shows....... Joking Amy, you done good.

I want to let you know that, here on the West Coast we have a very disturbing trend. This trend is as disturbing as those who only choose to feed their dogs RAW, as disturbing as those who complain about the cost of showing dogs, as disturbing as those who complain that the Board only serves themselves. We have a FAR BIGGER PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!! We have KIDS showing good dogs and having the unmitigated gall to WIN!!!!!! A most disturbing trend for gray haired handlers like myself. This weekend i brought my 16 year old daughter to the show to watch. She hasn't been to the shows since she was 4 years old. I thought great, she will see her "OLD Man" do some winning and look good running around the ring and she would walk away with a new appreciation of "Dad" Well what she witnessed was Hunter Tank and Summer Khatib, whooping her "Old Man" on Saturday. She met Hunter on Sunday and said "Oh Yeah, you are the kid who beat my dad". Now Hunter is a serious young man, he got a big grin on his face and said slyly "yeah i did". Then on Saturday, Summer comes to me in specials and asks if i "can help her out" as she has too many champions to handle. Well excuse MEEEE! Ofcourse i say this all with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Congratulations to Summer and Hunter and BTW there are other good juniors that were there too that i just don't happen to know very well. Job well done to all of you!!!! Bill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
