It was such a joy to be with everyone in Augusta, Such hard working club members, they do it year after year with just 5 members!!!!! The Workmans never fail to open their home each year and treat everyone to a great dinner. Just goes to show with everyone pulling together Clubs can accomplish most anything. I am very grateful for the support all the exhibitors gave this hard working club. The weather was brutally hot, but everyone was so good natured. It was a lovely entry of 4 points despite the fact that some individuals called around and asked breeders/owners/exhibitors not to enter!! This only hurts the clubs, not the judge, that are struggling to keep their shows going and have good entries. Thank you to each and every person that entered on Saturday and Sunday. The winners Bitch was a bitch of type, substance and movement that is not seen very often. She reminded me of the old days when the bitches were of really good bone, with nice broad heads, and exceptional substance. . Her movement was extra powerful, not as in fast, but with an easy power that looked truly 'EFFORTLESS" SHE MADE IT ALL LOOK SO NATURAL AND EASY BUT WITH lots of power. Her feet stayed so close to the ground it was almost impossible to see daylight under them. Very good character. Congrats Libby Cameron and whomever else is part of this package. I believe she finished on Sunday under Dean, at least that is what I am told as I had to head back to Atlanta right after the show to care for the dogs at home. Mr. Ron was in NC fishing!!! He needed a break. Congrats to the Winners male who also finished on Sunday. Congrats to the Workmans,Suzanne Kinman, Todd Casper and the rest who are fortunate to be part of this very nice male. You can see the wonderful male characteristics coming from 'Yancy'' Scoop' and 'Dallas' in this young male who finished in a whirlwind campaign. I loved the Best Puppy who was also Reserve Winners Dog.the Best Of Opposite puppy was no slouch either. The young lady handled her herself. Good for her. She is new to the breed ( I think)& believe she is now 'hooked'. The Bobaks have yet another lovely bitch on their hands, she won her class and was Reserve winners bitch, she is very young and a little immature, I thing she is just out of 12 to 18, I also hear she was the reserve bitch at the Great Lakes Futurity, she is one to watch for. The Best of Breed bitch is just plain classy with a outreaching and very clean gait. What a nice strong back and nice croup on her,Joey and Kathy Perez are and should be proud of this beautiful bitch. Bitches were there that I had given wins to before, they were competitive against some absolutely first class bitches. You breeders are doing a great job!! The GA junior handlers are fantastic, Barbara Stamper had done an outstanding job with those kids. You will see them in the ring I am quite sure. Watch out everyone, these bitches are going to set the National on fire in Utah. Utah may be a small entry but OH baby, if the Augusta Show is any indication we are in for a real threat. I judges in Utah a couple of weeks ago and for those of you who have not been to that site, you will be so pleased, it is just a super site.
