I gotta say for all the dogs I saw last night, I loved the Scottie.. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Charmin (Sealy) fan, but not often do you find a Scottie bitch with that much attitude and a topline that perfect.. Hands down, the Terrier Group winner. I wasn't hugely impressed by the Non-Sporting Group - the quality wasn't great (you couldn't tell me that out of 42 Frenchies the one that placed last night was the best)... I really like Tanner the dal, but he was too big for the Group judge... and I don't like the Standard Poodle at all. Puli was a nice dog and probably deserved to win Herding, but I really liked the Terv and thought it should have won... Hound, well, what can I say.. Pat Trotter always surprises me! It is sad that there weren't more GSDs and I do understand the reasoning, but in a venue like that, it was a shame there weren't more dogs for the public to have access too. BTW: the BEST dog (Argus) was sitting at home... Entered but we felt the dollars would be better off hitting more Specialties! JMHO.... Jess M. Paisley Dals (www.paisleydals.com) & The Shepherd Girls (Simmie, TC, CGC, TDI, HIC & Pepper HIC)... and now some Fish! _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live?: E-mail.
