Great dogs were in both. (my dog that went Sel. 2 in Canada and Sel. 3 in the U.S. was in the dump group) I remember a show a few years ago, (check 20 or so) where I was sent to a group by the judge, to stand with some great dogs, under the tree. We were all smiles, there were about six of us, and we figured we were the keepers. Then the judge called out a dog to join us, with an ear hanging down. We all looked at each other, and took a deep breath. Bob Penny turned to me, and said, "Maybe we shouldn't be this happy?" Sure enough, the judge asked us, (who we felt were the winners) to go around one more time, and dismissed us. It was almost as bad as when a judge divided the class, and told the back half they were excused. I said, "But, we just sent our entries in later". Everyone laughed, and we left the ring.
