Mike....She is a "star". I judged her last March in Raleigh, so I had the chance to put my hands on her.Believe me she is spectacular. The American Cocker Spaniel is also a great dog. Really a great one. I saw "Uno" several times and he is a hard dog to beat....But, like you, the Weim was my choice.

When she came out to the san mateo shows, she looked just as beautiful in person. But then again, I always liked showy and correct. The toy poodle, Kaz is the master. He had Spice Girls daughter in the non sporting group, but he didnt put any switches in it for the toy group... he did for best in show, but I was a little bit surprised there wasnt any for the group. I was thinking that Sari Brewster wasnt a "hard ass" on switches (maybe she has because its been ages since I showed a poodle too her). I dont know, I like Adam's beagle, I like Kaz's toy. I love the Sealy of Marjory Goods (that woman is devoted to that breed), but the Weim stole my heart.
