Jim & I had a great time at the Memphis shows this weekend. It's hard to believe that this was the first time in all of these years that he has come with me! These shows have meant a "beginning of spring" for me for over 30 years....In fact, I still have the picture from my fist blue ribbon at a dog show at the GSDC of Memphis, novice class, owner handled under Jack Budd in 1978 :-) My dog show shoes??? red flip flops....no kidding!!!! We're happy to brag that our Caretti's Summer of Love (OFA prelim hips good/elbows normal) was Reserve Winners Bitch today her first day out in the adult classes. Summer (born on the 40th anniversary of Woodstock) is sired by our BOM CH Caretti's Archangel RN OFA H&E.
