1. Well just got home from the third day of a really fun Dog Show weekend. It was 25 minutes from where I live. The weather was wonderful all three days. The show grounds and rings were really good and the Dog Company was super. You all come down you hear! 2.The first day of the Mid Hudson All Breeds saw Carol White Moser judging. Had a great time with Chuck and Doris Farrell. I think Doris looks like Lois Gregor and Chuck is a really good breeder owner handler. He went to the Breed with his class bitch. Linda Selmon actually went into the ring with her own puppy. and guess who showed THE BRED BY BITCH! 3. Day two saw Chip Rayner judging. Fred Freeman took the breed with Am and Canadian Select Tanquerey. WB was Cherry Cordial handled by Abbey and WD went to Penny Krohs latest dog Brando also shown by Abbey who stepped n for Fred who had too many dogs.Super time waiting for the group at the RV Parking area hosted by the Millers. Cindy is the best hostess in town. And guess w ho had the BRED BY BITCH. 4. The third day today was even better. Jon Cole judged and Mike Reed and Phillip More showed up making the competition even better. The Millers 12-18 puppy took the Breed from the classes over Specials. Lindas puppy won the puppy Herding group. He was handled in the Breed ring by Mike Reed and in the group by Fred Freeman. And guess who had the BRED BY BITCH! 5. I caused quite a stir by celebrating my 70th birthday by handling Melody in Bred By all three days. I would like to trhank the crowd for all that applause. Jon Cole really made me work for it. n winners he gave all the class winners a chance in front and by the forth time around this lady was getting pretty winded but it was worth it. 6. There were almost no absentees. The groups were fun and Pat Scully the Stewards the AKC rep and all the judges were a hoot. Had a chance to talk to Pat Gellerman(the lady who finished the Holy Terror) and I picked the sporting group winner in two seconds flat and it went on to Best in Show. Its nice to know my eyes have still got it. 7. If you have never been to the Millers parties you are missing something. Barbara Ross would have loved it here this weekend. Will let all the winners brag for themselves. signing off for now ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
