I forgot to mention that our very own, Cappy Pottle and Gloria Birch, Covy-Tucker Hills Kennel, were honorees at the Santa Barbara/Purina ProPlan 2011 Breeders Showcase this past weekend. They were the 2011 Honorees for their contribution to the Sport, representing the Herding Group with their German Shepherd Dogs. They even entered and showed a couple of dogs, Gloria handling, of course. It is always wonderful to meet and greet the legends of our breed at these very prestigious all-breed shows. Breeders, exhibitors, handlers, dog shows!! That IS what it is all about, right??
