Great show hospitality in Tucson this past weekend- hot but dry- the hospitality room was awesome and the dinner last night included a mariachi band- way cool- we had a good weekend- the first miracle was getting our male in a 400 crate out of Des Moines- that miracle allowed Lutzhaus Sirkobrass v Winsome to go Best Op in Maturity- Thanks to Ms Douglas for the honor and to Mr. Guzman for handling our very green youngster. As some of you may know Frank purchased Jerry's handling at a Futurity at last years Foundation Auction. Jerry had included a grooming seminar in the auction. This past weekend I spoke with Jerry and Mrs. Nancy Godek Mc Donald ( wow be sure and wear sunglasses when you look at her left finger) and Jerry has agreed do the seminar for the Juniors at the National this year- Wanted to get the word out as the advance brochure has already gone to print. I must say the Futurity/Maturity competition was extremely deep at the show. In particular the junior Maturity bitch class had I think 12 bitches, five of which could have won the class. I was glad my Maturity bitch was entered elsewhere- had to go home early as Frank needs to work . Anyway I was almost over dosed on Margaritas. It was great to see all our West Coast friends-Kris ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
