The dogs: As always the quality of the dogs was incredible, how can you not be proud of our breed when you watch all of those wonderful entrants do their thing. In a word, awesome, just awesome. The Venue: A Superior place to hold a national, very accomodating for the dogs. The weather: When the sun was shining, it was terrific, when the wind was blowing it wasn't. The People: It was great to see our friends and meet some new ones. The Parent Club: A bit tentative early, but the meeting went off without so much as a cough, Ann Mesdag's goodbye speech being the most memorable moment. My hope is the new board can work together under Gail's Leadership and leave personalities at the door. I would like to see the law suit dropped sooner rather then later, the point has been made - drop the rock, and lets get on with the rebuild. The Minnesota Club: Had a spectacular year at the national 1st Place in the Regional Club Challenge , Maturity Victor, Maturity Victrix, Eight Selects, Winners Dog, Winners Bitch and the first ever PAM/CH/ROM in the history of the breed. The Victor: Man what a handsome representative of the breed, he is all male - unmistakebly. The Victrix: What can I say, she was my Maturity bitch - Ed, made me look like a genious. Brags: Vinnie the Viper earns his second Select Excellent(thank you Ed) Machu Picchu goes Winners Dog(still unbelievable) Hayabusa grand-daughter goes Winners Bitch and Select(Baily was her daddy) Can't wait till next year, time to start baking puppies. ;-) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
