Ditto to all that Shirley. Many of us enjoyed dinner Saturday night with judges Joe Larosa and Karen Hynek. Joe told us all about how he and Charlotte came to be and while they were dating going to Charlotte's house when Elsa gave birth to a litter of pups. (she was GV Lance's dam) Many stories about his early handling days. Was a great weekend for weather, good food, good friends and having fun. Thanks to all who supported our show this year, and congrats to all the winners. As a small brag, thanks to Mary Tripp for giving my "brat" puppy Trillia's Isabella V Bokenkamp the nod for Best In Match. Sire...Witmer's Congo of Vanderwerth Dam: Trillia's Gee-Annie. Many thanks to talented young handler Trevor Gold for taking her on. Was very proud that we had 4 good juniors in competition. The Gold boys Trevor and Mason are truly going to be good ones....... Had two young gals Cathy (age 9) and Elizabeth Martinez (age 11) out for the first time in juniors this show who made John and I proud. We have been working with them for 2 months getting them ready. Always glad to have some young talented kids to work with. Hope to see everyone here in the sunny south next year!
