We drove to the National Show site to show at the Great Salt Lake GSDC Specialty shows. Worth the trip as we watched a Cash daughter complete her Championship at these shows. * Congratulations to Tom & Jacque Philippbar on their new Champion Coastline's Blackberry handled by Bill Basu. * Congratulations to Roxann Labra on her young Cowboy son ( called Turbo ) win his very first Major. * Congratulations to Colette Skinner on her black Nicaragua son CH. Mar Haven's Ace Of Spades and his Best Opposite Sex handled by Bill Basu first time shown as a new Champion. * We got to watch Zac Hudspeth take our Champion Mar Haven's Last Cowboy Song P.T. in the ring handling him for the very first time in preparation for them teaming up for the National. Zac very ably handled Cowboy to a Best of Breed the first time Cowboy has been shown this year Now we are hoping to get Cowboy started for his HSAS in Utah in October .......and then go into the big arena on Saturday with Zac. This young man is a great upcoming handler!! * The Great Salt Lake GSD Cllub had two Specialties on one day and two good judges in Ken Tank and Nancy Harper making it appealing to us to make the long drive A nice friendly Club that efficiently works to make exhibitors have a great show experience on a great show site with easy access. Great "trophies" of nice rain gear, coats, etc.....all useful items. Well worth the drive......a really good show set up for the rest of the weekend with All Breeds. With two shows in one day for the Specialties........we were able to turn around and go home as Zac had another show to get to the next day in our area. <G> It will be fun for those at this National to be able to actually watch a lot of the herding right there close by as in Perry. We saw Bill Burggraaf there ..........working hard on last minute details for our National. Are you ready for a DOG SHOW!!!! <G> I hope everyone has a GREAT NATIONAL!! See you all in October!
