I do think people will remember Utah for the good judging. Barbara moved swiftly through the individuals and she did what she wanted to do. She didn't look at handlers, nor did it appear that she worried one bit what people thought. She just judged. In my opinion the GVx was an easy winner...stunning in every way possible. Clearly Barbara and Bob felt the same way about her and that is something I think many will remember too. I will also remember Utah for the many "firsts" that happened. The FV, Winner's Dog, and Select male - the FIRST show dog of a very sweet person, Roxann. I could not have been more thrilled for the owner, the breeder Dave Lasater, and of course Nancy who did a great job handling. Also, some firsts for those close to me..... My dear friends from Michigan Jeff & Jami Vander kooi had some firsts. I showed their puppy "Elle" and she went 3rd in the 9-12 bitch class...their first National win. Then the next day Jeff himself handled a beautiful bitch (a Bailey daughter) for Dawn Van Dyken who placed 3rd Am Bred bitch in what was probably the largest and deepest quality class of the entire National. It was one of the most thrilling moments of the national for me to see Jeff & Zelda compete and do so well. It was awesome. Also, the 2nd Open dog was the very first show dog for owner Whiendy Parry. You would have thought her dog just went GV! But it was a wonderful moment, except her crying made me cry! LOL All of the above people are great people and watching things unfold was something I will never ever forget. I am so glad to see "newbies" and young people doing well. It's what our sport needs. That energy and freshness. The spirit and happiness that comes from unexpected wins. So, I will remember Utah for all of the amazing moments and I am certain that Roxann, Jeff, Jami, Whiendy and many others would agree.

Sorry you were upset about the dress thing. I just remember you telling me our dress had ripped and presumed that it upset you while judging,so you an the dogs the wrong way, I think you are being way too sensitive . No ne was criticizing your judging I certainly made no comment on that. But eople remember Nationals for certain things. People will remember Utah ,for hat happened to the Kobe Dog. And at a early National in Seattle,people emember that Connie Beckhardt wanted a table to write on, while doing pecials ,and that I put up a all black bitch that passed the T.T ,but pooked when being photographed, Odd things happen all the time ,and that's hat eople remember. Bad judging is remembered,not good judging. And of course ou did a good job,you always have--just like you did this time. I'm sure eople were pleased with your approach and decisions,and will want you gain for judging at our Nationals.
