We see nice dogs in the AB ring in the Northeast as well. I've told the story that when Cody needed 3 singles, we were at an all breed show in po-dunk. Dr Sophia Kasaluski (sp?). The BOB bitch later went GVX that year and the WB (one point) went Select. Oh yeah...we won THE point in dogs. A lot of folks take their quality animals to the AB ring locally. I'll take a chance on a judge I don't know. I've seen good and bad judging in both rings. Bad judging in the AB ring somehow doesn't offend me as much.
