12 - 15 Bitches

15-18 Bitches
 
One of the things I like is splitting the groups like this makes the class more easy to judge and smaller. I like that, but of course the judge could just divide them into groups.
 
Tedi is doubling the fourth place puppy for the picture.  She needs to fill out, but as a Patriot puppy, can move. 
 
This should be interesting only four.  Everyone should get a ribbon unless they bite Joan.  First is 453, Neo's Karizma's Rozzi Betsy, second is 455 Hessen's Cyd Charisse of Mariner, then 458 is Von Rech Queen Aliquippa, and last (for now) is 459 Windy Ridge's Black Calla. 
 
The stands were pretty empty at the start of judging today; but is now starting to fill up (I guess everyone got started a little late this morning.  The action has stopped for a cleanup in the ring.  Purina has special flooring; which requires special cleaning techniques.  It took the ring stewards a little time to get the hamg of it, but now are pretty efficient.  Back to the action. 
 
Joan has completed all individuals, and takes the group around.  She stops them and does a little rearranging.  Charisse is now in front followed by Rozzi, then Black Calla, then Queen Aliquippa.  And without much fanfare, that's they way they finish.
