Arrived back from a wonderful National. First I would like to say the site was outstanding. I hope the board will choose to go back to Topeka in the future. I would like to publicly thank the Fasanos' for the sod. It held up well, the dogs looked great, and it was easy on me. My legs did not kill me after two long days of judges. My futurity dog and maturity dog were both outstanding in my opinion. My futurity dog was BIF and my maturity dog was BOSM. I had excellent bitches shown under me. The classes were very deep in quality. Overall I had very good temperament. I had one bitch that I had to excuse. My winner's bitch and reserve winners bitch were both outstanding in structure and motion. I found out after judging that they were sisters. I had a great time and appreciated all of the compliments I received regarding my judging.
