Well the circuit (Mini National as alot were calling it) was a HUGE success!!! We will perfect it each year to get better and better. There were some problems to iron out, but it really will get better and better and now that everyone knows it draws 5 point majors i am sure more people will want to join in next year...............we may possibly change the location to an even better one, but more on that to come we have a year to make it even better. The weather has never been so warm here, usually you can expect quite cool weather so this was a rare occasion to have such warm weather (in the low to mid 80's......it wasn't 90's as someone had said)..........next year we are ordering normal weather for this time of year. Of course today we are hard pressed to get up to 70..........go figure. Our hospitality was really fun, we had a nice turnout and hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The quality was awesome at the shows ! There were no poor choices in judging because any number of animals could have won............wow that makes everyone proud to see! WE were so proud to have so many top handlers come down and bring their lovely entries. I thank the clubs and members who all worked hard at bringing this together in the Orlando, Treasure Coast and North Florida GSD clubs. The Temperament Test was a success at 21 entered, it really was a fun day for all. And fit in real nicely on Friday between the shows. I think we had a pretty good passing rate. Also a big thanks to our ring stewards for my club Peg Kurz, Denise Groenewald & Mary Daniels all the way from Alaska............also to our many helpers on the Temperament Test field from outside of our club and geez i hope i don't forget anyone: Peg Kurz, Denise Groenewald, Barbara Friesel, Tina Williams, John Castoro, Nicole Mangaroo, plus our Treasure Coast members Lee Smith, Sam Tinsley, Janet Desmond, Jeannie Light, Dave Desmond and myself. This was really nice to offer and i hope we can continue an annual Temp Test with this circuit. Now you can come back and enter Ft Lauderdale Miami specialties in February and do it all over again.............their shows will really be nice.
