Nine Male selects and 12 bitches out of a total "specials" entry of over 700. The young classes were way up too - well over 100 in each class. The Seiger could easily go GV here - handsome sucker with nice movement and a good topline. Larus, the Seiger, looked the same after five hours of gaiting as the first lap! Its a shame they don't let more of their "good" ones come here! Saw some LOVELY bitches and some really nice youngsters in the young classes. It is absolutely amazing to see them gaiting on a "loose" lead LOL - they take it completely off and the dogs move with no lead at all. And do the EVER fight to move up just one more place - even in the higher numbers!! Just got back in last night. More when I have time to unpack the catalog!
