I am going to second this feeling. It is so nice to get to the show grounds and not have to go anywhere else. The club members were helpful and friendly, the hotel staff was more than accommodating, its amazing how much work these club members put in all year long for one weekend of shows. It was hotter than the weather people said it was going to be, they always screw up and STILL get paid, what a job!! We had a great time with Alex, after his adventure flying in.....you can see the story in YouTube...<G> Congrats to the winners, we brought home 3 trophies from 4 classes entered, so we are pretty pleased. Funny enough,one of the judges called the Grand Champion award, " you guys get the new whatever the hell AKC calls it points".......got everyone laughing. While the Sunday judge really, really disliked doubling (I got sent to the corner) they both understood shoulders and type. Good times. Ileana In a message dated 5/30/2010 9:52:25 P.M.

I always love when I can make it to these shows. Two shows that are definately worth the effort & such a nice hotel right there at the show grounds. Looking forward to next year :) Bonnie Jenkins BonJen Shepherds ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
