I've come to the conclusion that Norma talks to hear herself talk or maybe she thinks she's entertaining us (The List.) My memory is not at fault here: after the NNJ Specialty, Norma posted to the list about the lack of quality of the male dogs entered. My youngster, Jeremiah, was entered. Not only did she imply (to me at the show) that he was dyed, she repeatedly told me to dump (sell) him. If that's not being rude, I don't know what is. I love Jeremiah and I will put his movement, outstanding pigment and rock-solid temperament up against any dog's. But I can take it. After all, it's MY opinion that counts with MY dogs. Sometimes he will win in the showring and sometimes he will lose, LIKE ALL DOGS!
