Met Rita Chapman; we will be at same motel in Houston along with Carolyn McKenna, so I hope to get some "quality time" with them there. Also met Mario Silva. Visited a little bit with Jane and Neil Tyler and Louis Christina, who was telling me about Jack Newton's new young male. Sounds very promising. Looking forward to seeing him at the California shows. Sat and watched Group and BIS judging with the BIS judge's sister and we had a good chat. Today's judge was Mr. Vincent T. Grosso 13 GSD's shown, 1 point dogs, 1 point bitches BOB = Stormy BOS = Harley WD = Brierhill's & Culzeans Bank on Me RWD = Sunfarm's Poseidon WB = Kolein's Alliz in da House RWB = Misty Hills Gogh Gogh Dancer I am not sure if the judge awarded a Select bitch, but, if he did, it was GCH Vonzo Zafiro.
