I have been to two futurities so far, and noticed something distinct.
The hospitality and organization has been terrific. We went to Phoenix, and
loved the location, right outside the hotel, and the way the club put it
on. We just went to Oklahoma, and what a show. Great show grounds,
tremendous hospitality, a food room to leave nothing to chance. Great rooms,
(the
ones that weren't hit by lightening) and everyone worked to make it fun for
us all.
I saw a number of outstanding animals, and a couple that are Select Quality
today. The Winner's Dog Knight's Gambit Forman, The Best of Breed Dog
Woodside's Jada V. Stoneyway, the 12 to 18 Bitch Signatures Tortolla V.
Winsome, the first and second Maturity Senior Dogs Knight's Gambit and
Anne-Isle's Prmise Keeper all could walk into the National and go high Select.
There were a lot of other entries that are going to be Select Quality, but
on that weekend that is how I saw them.
We stayed in Albuquerque the first night, then Oklahoma City, then
Amarillo, and here we are in Kingman, Arizona. I saw a fantastic collection
of
50s cars in Texas, and had more fried chicken and McDonald food than I
thought possible for a man of my age.
Summer surprised me by bringing along Adam, her brother, and we met another
10 year old handler, Emily Bedea and her brother Sam who spent some time
with Adam and Summer. Emily won the Junior Handling both days, and it
should be fun to see Summer out there. We are working on her for the
National.
Now that Kirk is going, I think we will get her there.
Kent offered to help Summer if she had any questions. Everyone seems to
encourage the Juniors, and it makes it more fun.
The futurity entry and the shows tells me we have the dogs, we have the
breeders, and we have the quality.,
The challenge isn't to change the system, the problem is to find a way to
encourage us to show.
Oklahoma found a way to do it, so can the rest of us.
Home tomorrow, and no more road trips for a while. Gas was from $4.97 a
gallon to $3.68. I figured gas cost about $800.00 for the trip, motels
$650.00 and food about $350.00.
It was worth it.
