Hi all. It was an honor to be asked to be one of the 3 judges to judge this years Puppy Olympics in Massachusetts on Saturday. It was a bit chilly but compared to the weather we had before and after Saturday it was great! My fellow judges, Denise Black Hollister and Marilyn Smith were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We agreed on almost every placing even with one of the biggest classes of 15 puppies. And that's without talking amongst ourselves. The puppies were great and we tried to make it a happy experience for the puppies and the owners as well. I am confident that the Best Male and Best Female will be heard from in the future and unless something happens to either of them, they should finish easily. Again thanks to the clubs, hard working stewards and exhibitors for inviting me and showing us your dogs. Good luck to you all.
