This one just made me think of the Monroe shows a couple of years ago. We had a great rep there who watched Amy judge to give a report when she was provisional. Had a chat with her just before the show and she was excited to come and see about the crazy shepherd people (tongue in cheek) and how they doubled. She stayed for quite awhile, and told me after she was disappointed. She had thought we would have been more animated....and this was in a private room for shepherds, so everyone was on the move. She shows horses too and told me all the stuff they do to double the horse. By the way, she is the rep for this region and is hoping she gets assigned to the nationals here in Beaumont. Told her she would get to see people giving it their all.......she was looking forward to it. Think I might suggest to her that she ask the AKC to assign her...would be a benefit for everyone. Besides all that, she is just a nice lady that loves the sport..........and does everything she can to ensure everyone stays close enough to the guidelines......LOL Molly Trillia German Shepherds since 1972 ph 409-287-3940 Member GSDCA, GSDCC, GSDC of Beaumont, Life member CKC "Never be afraid to try something new.
