I try to get the results out before the next class comes in. I only lost what I typed one time. I need someone to show me how to get back goes away. Mrs. Pat Ayres came by. I am not going to try to spell her name.
OPEN DOGS
It's a small class only seven in there. I have gone through about $300.00 in candy. We do that each year for the announcer table. With us being moved, I thought no one would find us. WRONG!
She finished the temperament test, and not is doing the individuals. Bobbie Kindy brought me a cushion yesterday, and I am so thankful. How did she know? Martha Simonette is sitting with us. We get to discuss the problems with the Courts. Her as a judge and me as a lawyer.
The handlers seem to pick the best dogs to show. We have a 60 inch screen about a foot away. It is fantastic. Now an Exxon son. Celeste said they brought five dogs, and they are taking one of them back and four or five others. I don't know how she keeps track of the Exxon dogs being shown. Some real quality. Pat and Celeste don't show under me. I got their son sworn into the Bar in California. Maybe that has some impact on their decision. I like the size and type of the Open Dogs. I am underwhelmed by the overall quality. But, as Uncle Ed says, "What do I know?"
They are done, not Gloria has to make a decision, three won't get a ribbon. No black, no sable. Gloria goes down the line and asks to take the first four onnly, and off they go. She is in front of us, and takes Olivia alone, down and back. Now Lennie. I don't think she has done any placing. She moves a dog in front of Lennie, and it is Rugar. That is the handler I thought did such a nice dog. I don't know her name. Or, I forgot it. I can use the stroke for names I can't remember.
She takes the last three,and stacks the first four. Well, the handlers do the stacking. Let's give credit where credit is due. I am confused she takes the last on the first group, with the two from the other group. I was confused, but thankfully I am not judging.
First is Tatum' Welove to Trump That, Second is Windfall's Mannix of Hickoryhill-Danae, Third is Westbound's 405 "Chief", and Fourth is Todorhaus Mojave Land Slide CGC.
On to the next class

American and Open
Here we are. We are to begin in five minutes, there is not a dog there.
I ended up yesterday with a major screw up, normal for me. I went to unplug my computer, and pulled the wrong plug and pulled the plug for the Video feed. Irv was not happy with me, as he thought he had lost all the memory. He didn't and we are friends again.
The show is about to start, Gloria got here on the dot, and there even are some dogs ready to go in. Bill is doing a fantastic job as a ring steward, and of course, Tom Mesdaag is always there for whatever needs to be done. Gail is everywhere, and I can't imagine how she keeps on doing it without getting frustrated. So many people work so hard to make this work, and it is just amazing. Bob (TheVoiceOfTheNational) was still here when Tedi and I left.
We tried to go to White Castle for dinner, (me, not Tedi), and they were closed. We went through the Drive-Through. Can you picture trying to put Catsup on a White Castle in the car, in the dar?. It is a good thing I brought extra clothes.
In the ring they go. NOW THIS IS A DOG SHOW. There are some new handlers today. There are too many to name, but they will sort themselves out. Erin Nellis came by to chat and Bob is back. Gloria sent all out but six. Now, six I can deal with. She is doing the individuals. Gloria is wearing a purple dress and looks great. She is doing each dog and down and back. Carman came by with a Top Twenty ribbon he found in the parking lot. I suppose someone felt they had enough honors, so just dumped it. I just ran into Ricki Olowski. Every time I want to suggest him as a judge, I can't remember his name. My memory is now hit and miss, it seems more miss.
Gloria has done the individuals, and down and back and is now taking to the first handler. I don't know him, No handler listed. And off they go. I see some t-shirts with a tribute to Leslie. I miss her, she was a special person.
Bill Tank in front and Gloria Stops them. She is looking at the first four, and now the other three. That means seven out there. I have always been good with math. And, the group goes out, and another "cluster" of German shepherds into the ring, Six more, and only George to hold up the manly status. Gloria takes them to the other side of the romg and begins the individuals. She does it right, She has the dog stand loose, and she approaches it. She tries hard not to bother the dog, and so far, it has worked for them all. Each of them goes around. The crowd s awake and a number of people are now here. Diane Brown is now being checked by Gloria. And, off she goes, and I like what she has. It is Orion, and I like that dog. And now George with Quarterback. That's the group. She puts Orion in front and looks over the rest. She gives them all an instruction and off go the three that were in the middle. The Cherpa dog isn't here. Now the first four. Diane Brown in front. She never seems to age. I also talked to Tim, he is the same. It must be how they live. Gloria goes over each one and stands back and wants them all to take a pass.I like what Cindy has, it is Gift of The Maji. And another pass, walking. No, I am wrong they are walking out of the ring. I am sort of right.
In come another group, nothing bad has happened yet, at least as to the dogs.Nicol is in front with a great red dress and a black dog, Night Rider. I spent some time talking to Carman. He is promoting the new AKC museum. There is going tot be a number of names on the wall, and the club is looking for donations to put the GSDCA on there. Contact Deb Stern if you can join us.
Back to the show, Kent is going down and back with Wistle Down-The-Wind. I like him, and the dog too. Jeff has Skywalker out there, and that is the outline you want on a shepherd. If you know what you are doing. I would say the handlers get first choice. And off they go with Kent and Jeff at the end, but I predict not for long. Gloria crosses her arms and looks them over. She goes to each dog and looks them in the face. Now she stands back and off they go. Bo Viovich is sitting with us, and showed me her new colts. I saw a video, not the real thing. It is too hard to bring them to the National. Up front is Lennie, then Jeff and Kent. Diana Paul does such a great job, and I like her dog.
Gloria goes off with Bill and she is instructing the rest of the dogs to come back in, and here they are. Gloria looks them over and at least 12 more. She goes to the first group of six and now instructs the other group to move up. She pulls George. She has three groups and she goes to the third one and tells two to move to the second group. There are still three groups, but I think she has a group she doesn't much care for, and they take a pass. Now she goes to her first group and tells them something, and pulls Dioane Brown and another I can't see and puts them with the middle group. She goes over each one one more time, Seven in there and she says take them around. I am right, she excuses thos seven.
Now there are two groups. No, there are still three, and Gloria tells the middle group to have two of them take a pass with Bill Tank. And they get to go get a beer, this class is over. Eight left in there. Kelly is in second, I don't know the young lady in front, but she is a great handler. Gloria pulls Kelly, the Zach, Lenny,Jeff and Kent. I don't think she likes the dog my handler is handling. She isn't mine, I just like the job she does. She takes the six. Kelly in front, then Lennie, and she moves the rest up, so Zach in in third. Gloria takes the last four with Kent in last. I am often reminded that what you see inside the ring is not always what you see outside. It is too bad she can only give four, and she takes her first four around. Cindy goes to third. I do think only first matters. Now she takes the last five. She needs a Best Of Dump. So far it is Zach. She says take them all, and I suspect that is it. Not yet, down and back. Evidently it is between the first two and off they go. I went Winner's Bitch in 1982 from American Bred, I think.
She moves Lennie in front, and off they go. That is it, First is Gem-B-U-River Of Urloved, Second is Togorhaus-Black-Hawk V. Lutzhaus, Third is Norberge's Gift-Of-The-Magi of Clayfield and Fourth is Paragon's Spend It All.
On to the next group.

Thursday, October 18, 2018
Ameteur Owner Handler. We need to add Amateur Owner Handler Long Coat by a female under 16
He is in the ring. Kelly was here for a while, and she is always fun. We have two bitches, Colbyhaus Twas The Night Before Christmas, and Marcoto's Boom Like That.
We have a ton of special classes and I think Bob is going to do it all.
In come the Novice Bitches. Six of them. Linda came by to make an announcement. I might want to ask her to take over from me. I did get to talk to Al Martin, it is so good to see him. Martha has switched to wine, and sitting with us. Morton walks back and call Al out with Lauren.
It is so weird that everyone thinks we know everything. We get the strangest questions. love the camera work, we get a great view from here. Martha thought I had a great cure for locked hocks. I see so few dogs that follow through, so I suggest we change the Standard to require a locked hock. So, if the dog follows through, it is disqualified. Problem solved.
That is it, First is Kenlyn's There Is A Time at Wildwood, Second is Almarwinsome Laren Camareigh, Third is Aramist's Four Letter Word of Marathon HT and Fourth is Carlyn Sholan's Living La Voda Loca
That is it for judging for today.
Now for presentation classes. I see we are doing the three platinum Grand Champions. If you haven't followed it, you first get a Champion, then a Grand Champion, then a Paper Mache Grand Champion, Then a Tin Grand Champion, then a Silver Grand Chamion, then a Gold Grand Champion, then a Platinum Grand Champion, then a Ruby Grand Champion, then a Emerald Grand Champion and finally a Diamond Grand Champion, (the dog has to be over 18 for that one).
They are doing a DUCK TOSS. Everyone bought a duck and we are throwing it to the middle and who gets closest wins half the pot.
We are all punch drunk.

Novice Bitches
A new group of four. I walked around and there they go and there it is.
First is Gomez La Maunche Arguimbau Vonzo of Karizma, Second is Cherpa-Coastline In Excelsis Deo, Third is Valkira Noster Amicus and Fourth is Vee Vom Cuda Haus.
I walked around the ring and was surprised how many people I know. On the top is Linda Bankhead. It used to be Joan Fox, but I am trying to hang with younger people to make me seem wiser. Everyone seems a bit worn out, but we have a long way to go yet. Top 20, the three Platinum Grand Champions, that is after Champion, Grand Champion, Paper Mache Grand Champion, Cardboard Grand Champion, Tin Grand Champion, Gold Grand Champion, and then Platinum Crand Champion. Next you show him to Ruby Grand Champion, the Diamond Grand Champion. Or, I might be wrong.
One more, then Bred By, and finally all the presentation classes.

15 - 18 Month Bitches
A class of eight. It looks like a huge group. How can Morton look so fresh. I am beat. I don' think I am full strength, and two more days to go. I could probably skip Saturday. Hell, they have all finished before, so probably no one cares.
It is nice to get to the older dog and bitches who look like the Standard. Tami Howard says hello to everyone. Her puppy went first in 9-12 puppy bitch class.Tami wishes everyone the best. The crowd is a bit alive.
Kent in front, then Mike, then Lennie and Diane. All nice bitches. Kent and Mike down and back together and now Lennie and Diane. It reminds me of Ben Hur and the chariot races. Miata Edan.
Bob is getting surly. Kent takes her around and lets the lead go. It has been a long day.

Bed By Exhibator Dogs
They have cut out Bred By Exhibator Dogs who are owner handlers, and long coats.
Five in there, and Gloria still looks great. She has more stamina than I do.
It is surprising how many of the old time handlers are doing breedings. Nice dogs. Great group.
Norma came by to deliver a book she sold. We are a multi purpose announcer's table.
They have had the individual, and Gloria gives them directions. She is going to look at the lined up. I miss Ken and Kathy Tank, they were always fun to see at the National. I knew they weren't coming, but it is different without them.
Illuminator goes to the front, one of those Exxon sons. Now, Let's Dance to second. Off go the first two, three left behind. Gloria is walkign the line, and off theyy go, this should be it. YES, that's it. First is Windfall-Churpa's Illuminator of Hickoryhill, Second is Colbyhaur-Mardan's Let's Dance GSDStyle, third is Mazerick's Folsum Prison Prison Blues, (I am a big Johnny Cash fan), and Fourt is Mariners Tequila Shooter V Shadowacres RDC.
It feels like this day will never end.

Novice Dogs
Only one Novice dog, Wonderland's Georgia-On My Mind. I will go out on a limb and predict he will win the class.
Again, I am right again.
Now on to the Amateur Owner Handler Dogs. First is Rhonda's Black Smoke Koaltrain RE, Second Marcato's Camerado, Third is Marcato's Cross of Gold. Two litter mates.

15-18 Month Dogs
We are on a break, now like Rachele and Ross, but lunch counts too. It is a great show so far, and the only terrible thing that happened was Kathy Potter falling and having the black eye of all time.
We all love Evan and think he is so awesome for doing this. Hi everyone! This is Kelly Foehl. And back to Evan...
Evan here, and Kelly has always been one of my favorites. Don't we all miss Tammy? I know I do.
The biggest issue this year here at the National is the absence of Jane. Jane was such a major part of our breed and the National that going forward with her at home, seems strange to me.
Nancy McDonald is here, and it reminds me of so many people I don't get to spend time with. On the other hand, if I did spend time with some of them, I might never talk to them again. Maybe it is better this way. I also go to the International Brotherhood of Magician Conventions. It is the same only there it is magicians from all over the world. Each year I look forward to seeing people, then after the shows, I regret not spending more time with them Last year I helped to judge the Best in Show, (five of us), and I would have congratulated the winners, but they were two female magicians who spoke no English. Everyone here at the GSDCA seems to speak English.
Here we go again, the Dog Show.
In they come, not getting close to the real thing, with adults. The dogs are more mature too. Gloria sent some out, and is working with the first five. The show is more exciting when it is the first class. After you see twenty or thirty dogs go down and back, it isn't as interesting.
I do like Fed Ex, an Exxon son. But, have always been a fan of Exxon. On to the second group.
Gloria applauds,a nd that is probably it for this group. They stack, she lookks them over, and moves Kent to second and the last male to fourth. At least it would be a ribbon were it not for the fact there is another group.
Bob and I have talked about everything. We may have to start talking about breeding rabbits.
Gloria touches each dog, and serts them aside and brings in the first group of five.
She combines the groups, and ends up with five, she sets the last two aside and now takes the third one down and back. In case you didn't know, Kent took off his mustache, and looks very different. Now the other three. People like the first one Wyatt Earp.
Gloria applauds them all and takes the first three. It's Jeff Kent and Scott. Nice dogs. And again, but now in Scott in front. Kent in front and the crowd likes that, and Gloria brings the rest behind. I saw that coming. and they stack, and in my opinion which is most often right, THAT IS IT!
First is Legend's Double Take of Debrut CC=GC TKI, Second is Faithrocki's Wyatt Eart V Tin Roof, Third is Knight's Gambit Rochiou II, Fourth was Cherps-Coastline Fed Ex. Jessica came to sit with us, and we both liked what she did.

THERE WERE ABOUT TWENTY SIGNS, AND EVERYONE HELD THEM UP AND YELLED, "WE MISS YOU JANE". AND WE ALL DO, MAYBE I DO MORE THAN ANYONE.
Jeff came by and we got to commensurate. It just isn't the same. You should be amazed I knew the word, that I used it correctly,and I could spell it, on my own.
Will wonders never cease?

12-15 Month butches
Now five walking. What is the sound of one hand clapping?
It would be more fun if Paulwa and Twyla were here, but I see some nice bitches in this class. I haven't been impressed to date with the quality.
A show without Jane is like a day without orange juice. Some of us older people know what that means.
Around they go and where they stop, nobody knows, except Morton. There they go, and First is Winsome's Bearlliantt Bella-Stella, Second is India Hartis Bohemia Symphony, Third is Bmeerhuis-zytut's Adio Idelle, and Fourth is Vonzo Jemma of Sunfarm's Gomez Von Loar.
I think there might be a break with a special surprise to come. Stay tuned!

6-12 Kibg /coated /bitches
We have in the ring one of the most exciting class of the day. They should do this early to diminish the fever, it is the 6-12 Loat Bitches, I guess it is important to two people,, (those in the ring), but not much from ring side.
Since there are but two, I am going to predict First is Adelhorst Winsome's Suymmmer Dolly and Second is Schneierhos's Wild Card Campaigner. Actually nice bitches. I was right, as I predicted. That is four times so far this week. Tedi told me three different times I was right. One of them was where the car was parked, I don't remember the others.

Since there are but two, I am going to predict First is Adelhorst Winsome's Suymmmer Dolly and Second is Schneierhos's Wild Card Campaigner. Actually nice bitches. I was right, as I predicted. That is four times so far this week. Tedi told me three different times I was right. One of them was where the car was parked, I don't remember the others.

9-12 Bitches
Ten in here. Nancy Hubble came by about the tickets. I see a nice Man u Man dog in there. I took a break and went to have lunch. I got Nacho and cheese. Not the lunch of champions, but certainly cut the tension with hot peppers. It is very quiet in here, and Morton is doing down and backs. Morton is writing on his tablet and placing dogs, and then there were two at the end of the line. Interesting to watch.
And off they go in that order. I realize Morton likes a closer coupled bitch and it shows with what he had up there. I like a judge to be consistent, and he certainly is.
Morton goes to the fourth and fifth bitches and takes them down and back together. Only one behind them. And he stands back. And, that is it.
First is Lacomtesse Shaker Atdusk V Tho, Second is Woodside's Arabella, Third is Windfall's DBL Chocolate Chip Frappucino V Blkwood, and FourthZZ Champeon Valentina Havana-Mazerick.
I am a bit confused as to what is going on. I do hear it is all day, and it is noon.

6-9 Bitches
Kent is here, and none of us know what the schedule is.
now we have a class. Morton is in there with 10 in there. Gary is here too, and we are the center of the show.
Now Morton has a real group to do. Some nice bitches. Martha Simonette came by, and talked for a while. I like the way Morton judges and everyone gets a good look. Morton excused five. And he has five left. That is so if anyone bits him. him, he still lhave four left. He takes Olivia first with Mike right behind. First is Amber's Lucy Lu Of Tonor, Second is Todorhaus Mojave's Gypsy, Third is Raintree's Summer of Quelland, and Fourth is Hylowe's Taurus.
Now on to another group.

Only one in the ring, a sable, who looks like the Winner. Windmill's Just The Way You Are. Hey, He won his class at teh National.
Linda Bankhead came by to chat. She and her mom never seem to age. I gave her the stuff for the Juniors. Last week, in a tribute to my laziness I went to the bank and had them start sending statements to each of the winners' homes. I saw Julie Deagun at the show, and she told me she has already turned `18, so I will have a check sent next week. How would I know?
12-15 month dogs in there. Only three. So everyone gets a ribbon. Now they are looking like shepherds. John Beamont is sitting with the Rinkes, and with the video, I can see the whole ring and the dogs as well. And Gloria moves the last two and leaves Nancy in front with Harvey, and I think this is it, and Gloria is watching and she looks uncertain, and walks towards them and they finish the circle. Floria checks the first one, and now stands back. Gloria claps and that's it. Harvy wins, (Candy's dog). First is Cross Timber's Harvey of Candia, Second was Vonzo Zapaata Return of Sunfarms-Gomez Von Loaar, Third is Mar Haven's Breaking Even V Hessen and Fourth is no one since there were only three.
Look at it this way. Some day, some one is going to say, "I went third at the 2018 National." A win is a win.

9-12 Dogs
Gloria has nine to twelve, and only four in there. Both she and Morton are doing a fast job. Down and Back. Everyone gets a ribbon. Lennie has an all black, nice dog. Now Alex witth a dog who does not want his testicles checked.
They are lined up. And the group goes aroiund, Gloria has her arms crossed and gives them a good look. Olivia came by and is standing watching.
Dawn came by to leave an award, I think she will be back, but I wasn't listening to what she told me.
Now they line up and she moves Lennie to the front with the black, then Alex. Gloria goes down the line and touches each one. I think she just wanted her hands on a puppy, and off go the first two. Karizma. On to more judging.

6-9 puppy dogs
Dave and Martha came by and we have new instructions as to the walkie talkies. Gloria has a black dress with a bling collar, and looks great. She only has five pups in there and is doing the individuals. Correction, there are six. I know, I can just change what I wrote, but I try to do it right. Interesting, Olivia tried to run her puppy into Gloria, and Gloria made her go back and do a "loose lead" test. Gloria worked with the puppy and finally got a good test. Dorothy Lynn came by and we spoke. It is so good to see her, and even though we are both in California, we are eight hours apart.
More going around, and Gloria lets them take their own pace. Not much excitement here. That means, none. Paula Moon came by to say hello for Donna Radish. I am sorry Donna can't make it. Gail keeps giving us new directions, and Bob and I pretend to listen. Tedi is here now, so I have to sort of be nice.
Gloria is about done with the individuals. No one has found us yet, so the candy is not going very fast.
Now they line up and Gloria walks down the line and gives them a look. I see Carman behind me, and Ed Barritt just came by to say hello. And off they go. She moves Tacor4as Kodak to the front and now looks at the second group of three, if three is a group. It is more than a pair. I think she is looking for a fourth and I'll Kick Ur Ask to fourth. Now the first three, and off they go. Gloria is not smiling, and I would think it would be a hard time for her.
She is looking at the second group again and now the top three. She hasn't picked the fouth yet, and goes over them all. Now they are all together, and Gloria tells them to take them around and off they go. THAT'S IT FOR THIS CLASS.
First is Windfall Best I Ever Had Class Act, (sort of sounds like high school), Second is Mar-Azart Miller, Third is Tacoras Kodak, (my kind of name) and Fourth is Tripphill's I'll Kick Ur Ask. Joan Fox came and sat with me for a while, and I always enjoy seeing her. Now, talk about someone who does not age!

4-6 bitches
Norma is here. There are only four in there, and Jim is walking them one at a time. He lets them go a bit faster. Now one at a time. Interesting that the puppies are separated by sex. How many classes do we need? It is good to be the king.
First was Caretti's Made To Order, Second was Vallevue's Key To Mya-Heart, Third wasSandedrin's Blace and Fourth waas Valle Vue's Key To Meea Heart. I know, I had the same bitch second. Now I see they are spelled differently. I did have it right.
Best 4-6 was Executive Order and Best Opp. was Made to Order, litter mates.
There is some confusion, and I see Gloria is now here ready to go in.

4-6 dogs
The show is on!
I got to talk to Morton this morning, and now we are being introduced to the police dog force, and a history of each dog and its owner. We had the Color Guard with the number on Veteran in the Nation, and the bugler from last year.
Everyone is here, and I love seeing these dogs. It is a Bi and being teased and then given the command. What a display of re3latiionship between the man and dog on hand signals. Now the officer takes his gun and pretends to hold a suspect. A great demonstration. Bob is here.
They moved the announcer's table to the ground floor. It is different.
Another dog in there, a sable, and working off hand signals with his handler. We are next to the big screen, so the view is OK. I love these demonstrations.
Another sable, with his handler. A drug detection dog. I talked to the handler and thanked him for not talking to me while I was in high school. They bring out a "target" in a full body suit, and the dog is barking, and watching him. He threatens the dog, and the dog just watches, and the handler just stolls about, and the dog doe not react. THEN THE COMMAND!
Off, and a perfect release, another attack, and that dog means it. And a release. Very Impressive. The crowd likes it and it sure is impressive to see the real thing.
I guess we are ready for a show? I did talk to Jimmy for a minute, and he is now in the ring. Jimmy is doing 4 to 6 puppies. Tim Brown just came by to tell me what the sausage was that I had when I judged there. I will try to buy them, but he says I have to boil them in beer. So, I might not do it.
Jim is taking them each around at a walk. Bobbie Kindy just brought me a cushion so I can sit comfortably.
It is quiet, and Jim places them and moves there where he wants them. And they take them around, and walking again. I remember Goldbecker where we walked for hours. Jim moves a nice sable Can I Kick The Dog to do a loose lead exam, and now he walks around the dog. Lamar Fredricks came by to say hello. We have John Ayotte's hat.
Now Cindy Flautte is out there with Executive Order. The next one is Leanna with Romeo Key To My Heart. We had gone to a show about twenty minutes from the house in LA to see Jim judge. He only had one entry. Had I known, I would have put Keirk in there.
Now a dark sable , Good Magic. My 104 year old aunt just died and left me all her magic equipment. That is my grandfather's, my uncle's, my aunts, my mothers and the stuff I left in Grand Rapids when we moved to California. I have no idea what to do with it, or where it will go. I hope they don't send me my old escapes, which included a water torture chamber.
More 4-6 puppies. And Jim looks a bit bored. About half the seats are filled. Not many people taking any candy yet. They may not know where we are.
Jim is done with the individuals,and has them walk. It is hard to walk, and most dogs areen't used to it. Now, he pull Cindy up front and changes number three, and that's it. Firsst is Caretti's Executive - Order, Second is Hammersmith Can I Kick It, then Third is Hammersmith Atom Tan, and Fourth is Ann-Isle's Good Magic.
It looks like Jim divided them by sex, so now the 4-6 bitches. It is good to be the King. Jim can do whatever he wants.

The big show in St. Louis
Bob and I are on the ground floor to announce, not a good view. We had the Parade of Greats and the Stud Dog and Brood Bitch presentation. The hospitality for the club was a bunch of food in the hall to take and eat. Not like it used to e where we sat at tables and talked. Not many people came for it, and it seems like less seats set up, but the entry is good, so it might be interesting. Jim Hill is sitting with us, and I always enjoyed talking to him. I did see Carman and also Ed Barritte. I think they both looked good, but I didn't talk to either of them, I was too busy bitching about the seats. Gail does a great job, but at the last minute the fire marshal made her change the ring. Everybody wants to get into the act.
I did see Ann Schultz, but she seemed on her way and was too busy to talk to me. Or, perhaps that was an excuse.
The real show starts tomorrow, so I am off to get my beauty sleep. I have been told often, I need more of it.

Best Bitch in Maturity and whatever else they do
I heard Cathy Potter is OK, and had some stitches and then should be back to the show.
Best in Maturity Bitch is Campaigner's Lindel Time Traveling Gal, and Best Opposite Maturity Bitch is Tatum's Welove to Trump That!
We will talk later.

Maturity Bitches
)time for the Maturity Bitches. They are in the ring with Gloria. There are seven in there in there, or at least Tom says so. He is standing in front of me, so it is hard to see anything.
We are but one class from finished, until 5:00 pm when we have the hospitality. I guess we are going to that to see if we find some new friends. It sort of looks like a mandate. I miss having Summer here, along with so many others. But, it is still fun to see those I miss the rest of the year. Kent always makes me laugh, and Jeff is standing here now. Dawn came by, but she just wanted some candy. It was good to see Jeff's dog win, that group of breeders have made a real impact on the breed. Sam Israel was by for a bit, and he seems to have a dog with him. I just realized Bob (The Voice of The National) actually enjoys announcing. So, I will do as little as needed. It gives me more time to Blog, which is probably not a good thing.
It is comfortable out now, and I might even take off my jacket.
Scott just went around with Ulyssa, and got some reaction. I see Joan Fox, and I do need to talk to her. Traveling Gal is going around,and I like that kind of movement. A Man U Man daughter is out there, Breathtaking. That is her name, I try not to give opinions.
It feels like people have settled in. Not much applause, and a lot of talking between the audience. Not even a lot of double handling. I don't think there is a loss of interest so much as not we are waiting for Specials on Saturday. It means something when I only know the sires and dams, and maybe my time is only in the past. I will check in another 50 years or so. Too bad Twyla didn't make it, we could commiserate with each other. Can you imagine how valuable Spell Check is to me?
Frank Frasano told me he has been to the German show seven years in a row. That is a lot of international travel. I debated going to St. Louis. I can't imagine those trips.
I did talk to D.D. Ardoin for a bit, he always has some good ideas. I do admit, I have spoken to a lot of more people, I just can't remember names. I offered a few years ago to pay for name tags and ribbons, but the board didn't want me to do it.
I took four chairs to set for the announcer's table, and they got taken. Amazing what is important. We need a guard dog. Maybe someone excused in the first cut. Gloria hasn't moved them yet, but she lines them up. By getting Tom to move one step to the right, I can see the judging. Gloria is going over each bitch and putting her hands on them. She stands back and gives instructions, and off they go as a group, only the first three. And now, they stand together and off goes the last four. The crowd likes Traveling Gal. Gloria takes them down and back. She does them one at a time. Morton took three together. And, now back in line stacked.
Now, Scott in front, then Olivia. They stop in that order and Gloria moves them and puts Olyvia in front. Now, those three and the rest, and THAT'S IT! First is Ch Beauchein's Traveling Gal, Second is GCH Breal-Ulyssa, Third wasTindrock Gem-N-I Reagan, and Fourth is Aramist Signatures What Goes On In Vegas V Lasvada.
I want to urge you breeders to us shorter names,
More as the World Turns. For now, I am packing up and see where we are going to set up later.

More of the same
Amateur Futurity Bitches
For Paula, who is not here, but would still bitch about the job I am not doing, the Amateur Futurity Dog was absent. In Bitches, first was Dawnhill's S[parta RA Cr. Goharistmas, and Third was Kubistraums Pippin Peak.
Dr. Golfarb is doing Maturity Dogs. I went to the mail building to buy a knotworst. As she said in Pretty Woman, "Big Mistake".
My day is complete, I just got to talk to Linda Ferguson. She is one of my favorite persons, after Tedi.
First was Tatum's Welove To Ttump Thati, just reminds me how much Jane, even though this was Jeff's breeding, Second was Ch Covy-Hill's Compass-pp, a dog I have liked for a long time. I have always wanted to put up a Black, and maybe some day I will be able to do so. I do like Compass. Third was Lacomtesse Mimic Vici and Fourth was Ch Kysaharh's Whiskey Comboy. Another great selections by Dr. Goldfarb.
There are a lot of people taking, laughing and hugging. Not that much interest in the ring, but maybe it is just me. The candy is going well, I haven't had to push it.

I have always wanted to put up a Black, and maybe some day I will be able to do so. I do like Compass. Third was Lacomtesse Mimic Vici and Fourth was Ch Kysaharh's Whiskey Comboy. Another great selections by Dr. Goldfarb.
There are a lot of people taking, laughing and hugging. Not that much interest in the ring, but maybe it is just me. The candy is going well, I haven't had to push it.

We only have on amateur Futurity Dog, so we may go right to the bitches. Gloriua is doing Best in Futurity rigfht now.
I just spent some time talking to Joanna Rand. Rand. Her grandaughter is getting married. I did the mom's divorce. Time goes by so fast. Gloria has asked to have Morton in the ring to help with the presentation. A very nice gesture.
She gives it to the dog, Kenlyn's Lacy.

Futurity Bitches
I was sitting with Nancy Hubbell and wish Midas could have been here. He is one of my top choices. Futurity Dogs are done, and Morton did a great job, and explained why he did what he did. First was Todorhaus Black Hawk V. Lutzhaus, Wyatt Erp V Tin
Roof, Third was TRJ's Johnny Walker Red V Luzak and Fourth was Cross Timber's Harvey of Candias. Now the bitches are in the ring. Gloria is ready to start judging. Captivia came by, she is the Draper daughter,, and a great person. I have so enjoyed watching her grow up.
I got to talk to Morton, he was dismissing the long bodies are not going to make it under him, and I agree. We are starting to get a longer dog. I am not sure I would fault it, but I do recognize the problem. We are also getting a bigger dog and bitch. Again, in my opinion, I don't mind the size.
Erin is here not talking to Cindy. Nice people, and Gloria is starting to go through the bitches.
I saw Tony last night, and he will be helping announce on Saturday. The rest of the time, it will be Bob and me. I do enjoy doing it, I get bored at dog shows. Hell, I get owned at movies. I have a short attention span, and often when I am talking about something, I will
And, Gloria is taking them around. Kent is taking around a bitch, and I see Scott with Don Knight's bitch. We saw Elizabeth Knight in K Mart last night. We went there to buy candy for the shows. I always have a bowl of candy at the announcer's table, otherwise no one would come talk to me. Olivia just went around. I miss Leslie, and didn't know how much I would. So many gone forever, and it changes the National for me.
Mike has a bitch in there that does not want to be told what to do. My Maria has a mind of her own, and he is doing what he can with her. She is a very stylish bitch and a great mover. I would put her up. I guess I should not say stuff like that because I may judge some shows in the future. Lacey just went around, and I do like her. There are a lot of people here, but few are watching the show.
Everything is going well at the office. Both of my court appearances were taken care of. So, I made a right decision to come to the show. John Beamont was here, and seems in great shape. He looks younger than last year. John is one of those I look forward to seeing at the National, and now that he married Vickie, I can visit with them both. Two people i do like and respect.
Gloria has broken her classes, as she does. six at a time, and she moves Olivia and Mike to second and third. I see she has Lacy in front and Mike in second. Now third. She takes Mike alone and YES she puts him in front of the group. Now in second with LACY back in front, and out they go that way, and in with the next group. Zach, Bill Tank, Kent, Another group, only five. Ben Bigonia is here, not dressed to handle.
Kent is leading the group, and individuals being done. I did get to talk to Celeste, that is always a high point in my day. That, and giving a hug to Diane Brown. I can't believe how her daughter has grown.
Look, this is a great facility for dog shows. It is just so hard to get to, if you live in California. Very few West Coast people are here, but the grounds are beautiful, and everything is here. But, I still think we should rotate so others can see our breed.
Gloria is taking them down and back, and now lines them up. She gives them a look, and moves Kent to third. And, she goes down the line touchings each of them. I can't imagine how hard this must be for Gloria with Cappy gone. Diane Brown in the lead with a great new hair du. And they stand again. Bob (The Voice of The National) called the other group back. Out with the old, and in with the new.
They are calling the Amateur Dog class. One dog, but still a chance for a ribbon.
The group is in there, and one came out, but they are taking bibs, so I guess she is reducing her choices. She has got six left. Kelly is in front, then Mike. I guess my eyes aren't what they should be, as i can't see the numbers. Now the last three, Olivia, Diane andKent. And they line up again, Gloria says, (gestures), slow and easy and off they go. More interest than the dogs, but it is warmer. Bill Tank just came by and said someone dropped off a room key. I suggested it might have been a suggestion, b ut he didn't think so. Now she has five. Down and back. She puts Zach in second. and walks to the center of the ring and off they go. Gloria puts her arms.

Show buriness is my life
Bob is here now,so I am extra only. In the ring is a large grop of great dogs. I figure nine regions, two from a region, that means 18 dogs. Twyla is not here to correct my math. I may have to phone a friend.
I talked to Frank Frasano, he is working the crowd. Kent has a nice looking dog in the ring,and moving him slow. I do have a catalogue, and as the day goes on I will look up names. Cindy is giving out the books, and most of them are pre-paid. Linda came by to get one. I am going to take a break and go talk to Dave and Martha, I promise to come back. Or is that a threat.
Gloria Birch came by. We so much miss Cappy. Again, I miss Jane Kerner. She always brightens my show. Norma Hansburg is talking to me now. We are amazed how dogs darken at the National.

A new day arising Futurity males
Here we are, and it is not as cold. It is 37 and almost balmy. I talked to Morton, and he looks ready to judge. Bob and I are announcing again together. We are outside this morning and the drama of the day is Kathy Potter fell and cut her eye, and we are waiting for the ambulance.
Everyone is here,a nd myu fingets are numb. We picked up Zoe to bring her, and she is inside doing obedience. Tom Mesdag is doing the steward thing, and it is a lot of work, he keeps moving.
I did talk to Butch this morning and I see Sharon Avery sandwiches in each hand. She gave one to Mike. I went and candy, but it seems early, not one is eating it yet. That will change. The Rinkes are here,a nd Tedi got out of the car. Lots of excitement, and tension in the year. Gail came by, and I wonder if there are more than one of her, she is everywhere. Most of the catalogues are prepaid so everyone is checking.
Karen Taylor helped me get on line again. I got my hot spot working, then looked for a network. One that was available was a FBI Drone, so I decided to let Karen do it. I like my government, but I do not mess with the FBI. I do admit, I am looking for the drone.
Bob is here and we are fighting to keep chairs at the table. In go the dogs. More to come.

Fwd: Versatile Two-Letter Word
I do admit, I was thinking of UP ..... this morning as I tried to think why I was sitting in the cold to see a bunch of admittedly great dogs. And, I guess I will do it tomorrow.
Evan
--
Evan
An amazing 2 letter English word.A reminder that one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and preposition.
UP
Read until the end ... you'll laugh.
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv.], [prep.], [adj.], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to writeUP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UPthe house and fix UP the old car.
At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stirUPtrouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UPexcuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UPat night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the wordUP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UPis used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaks it UP. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap itUP, for now . . . my time is UP!
Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?
U
P !
Did that one crack you UP?
Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . or not . . . it's UP to you.
Now I'll shut UP!

Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Fr9om St. Louis
Some can remember the cold in Lexington. We had hundreds of hand warmers, and I won't tell you where we put them but few made it to our hands.
I talked to Rita today, and Kenny at the show. Rita looks great, I suspect she will judge in Denver. I also got a minute to see John Beamont with Rita, and they were in the building. Tony was there and is going to help announce on Saturday, so it will be all three of us.
Gail was being hounded by dozens of people. What a job she does.

It is cold IT IS COLD
I must apologize for not writing more. It was so cold this morning that I never did stop shaking. I enjoyed seeing those who I miss year to year, ran into so many old friends, it is a challenge to now remember them. In that regard, if you stop by, say your name. I agonize to bring them up instantly to put in these posts.
We went up to talk to Gail, and she has a new location for us at the show. Tomorrow for the Futurity we are again outside. I think we need to admit there is a change in the global weather, no matter what the government tell us. Again, tomorrow in freezing weather outside. I remember the last time in Denver, the last day it poured rain. Now, I know we ae tough German shepherd folks, but I miss the point in suffering to watch a dog show.
The team of Pat and Celeste just got here as the show was done. Celeste told me the Winner's Bitch was by Exxon, and I didn't even look at the catalogue, I was too anxious to get to some heat.
I guess we are going to announce tomorrow, but it will be in the cold again. I don't know if I can type, next year, assuming I am doing this again, I pay install Dragon and dictate what I am thinking. If you think typing it the way I do is weird, wait until you see how I think. Many young people have had their lives forever changed by seeing what I think, and not always for the best.
Tomorrow we will pick up Zoe and take her to the show.
Everything went well in Court at the office Monday and Tuesday, but I missed some great fights.
I promise to do better after we get inside. Now, I am wrapped in my electric blanket, trying to figure out why I do this.

The National
Today I have decided to go to the National.
I have such mixed feelings. On a personal nature, I had a stroke a week ago, and after a couple of days in the emergency room, I went home. I was back in the office and took a case to trial that next day. I sat as a judge to help out the Court on Friday, and have clients coming in today and tomorrow.
I have three hearings next week, and I am waiting to see if my associate is available, she went home sick on Thursday.
If the planets align, if my headaches go away, and if the creek don't rise, I will get on a plane to St. Louis Monday morning. You can look for me there, as a lot has to happen to keep me at home.
Otherwise good luck to everyone, and enjoy Bob, (The Voice of The National) Dresher, next week.

Ask and you shall receive
I am sorry Michel didn't mention to me to send him the results, I could have done it, albeit a bit later than what I send to the
Blog. I don't know if it made any difference, or if anyone knew it, but I sent the results before the winners took a victory lap. You could only get the results faster by being there.
I got home in time to go to the office, and I am taking a break to read what I wrote today. Of course I got up at 12:00 midnight California time, had a four hour layover in St. Louis. I would have been in the office earlier, but there was some screw up at the airport and it took just over an hour to get our luggage.
Tedi and Twyla are in New Mexico and plan to be home tomorrow night. I went out to play with the puppies and the first thing for Tedi to do, (with my help) is to cut 64 toe nails. I found besides them being over excited to see me, they bloodied my arms. That is not Australian, but actual bloodied.
Again, a good trip, and a fun National for me. I ended up exhausted each night, but seeing everyone and so many of my friends getting the big ribbon, made it worth while.
I told Bob, (The Voice of The National), that next year he is on his own. Let's see how he enjoys it.

Notice to all,
Due to some breakdown in communication I have not received official results
for all the items posted on the National Show.
What is posted is what I managed to receive from very nice people, with good
intentions, however, I did not receive information on absentees, excuses,
move-ups, etc., and especially the validity of the placings.
In particular the #2 Select bitch was a move-up from the 15-18 class. It
took me a while to find that.
That is why you will see "##" by the listings.
Results of some classes are totally missing and there you will see the "!"
symbol.
If an item has no link that means either I have not received the entry
information or I have not converted it. The Show Secretary people sent me
all the data in the wrong format with too much information. For instance,
with each entry the owner home address was listed. So I had to remove that
information as many of you do not want to see your home address posted on a
public internet posting. That effort is extremely time consuming.
Once the powers that be send me full sets of results I will update the
website and clearly indicate that what is posted is valid.
Please have some patience.
Regards,
Michel

From the airport
It was an unusual National for me.
I was pleased to see the Drapers have such a great show with three class wins, a second with Pat handling and a third. Then a Select with their Exxon son. And, they were leaving to show at some shows on the way home. I can't imagine anyone working harder. Congratulations to them, and their dogs. And to us, since we have eight Exxon puppies in the whelping box.
I was asked to pick up a young lady at the event center and take her to the Comfort Inn to get a ride to the airport. I waiting 15 minutes at three o'clock and never saw her. But, a large deer ran in front of my car, (they grow them big here) and I almost ran him/her down.
Nancy Hubble lost her diamond rings, one was her grandmother's, but they were found and returned. Then to have Midas go Select was great. If you haven't heard, I broke up when reading the names of Midas and Leo, and I apologize.
I hear there were three bench show committee hearings. I don't get it. This is for fun. If we aren't having fun, we need to do something else. I have no idea what it is about, but whatever, lighten up.
The ring seemed to get confusing at times with Lew, but his winners were "spot on". and no one should complain with his choices. The mirrored what happened in Canada. A good dog is a good dog.
I loved seeing Yada Yada Yada go Select again. Seeing a Select on the Exxon/Jill puppy was great. I agree with Lew that if we are breeding to improve the breed each year, as the years go by, the quality should be improving enough to have more and more Selects. They are not supposed to be judged on a curve, but on how they reach the standard. I saw that in Specials.
I thought Pam and John did excellent jobs. The class winners were the best there. The depth of quality was not there this year. In both sexes, there were a few good ones, but in some classes they had trouble finding a fourth. Or, at least that is how I saw it. Both John and Pam told me there were a lot of level bites. Maybe that is the new challenge for us breeders.
I got up at two P.M. to get to the airport, with the side trip back to the show site. But, I made it on time for my flight, will get to Los Angeles in time to go to the office and see what Chaos occurred while I was off having fun.
I had a long discussion with Zoe. She insisted that Jimmy was not running to judge the National. Again, I was proven right.
Everyone worked very hard to make the show FUN. I saw little complaints, (again I was told the speakers didn't work), but since it was me announcing, it probably is better you couldn't understand me.
I sure missed Bob, (The Voice of The National), but talked to him three times on the phone. He said he went to some place where the video was perfect, and said it was even better than being there because they had cameras on both sides.
I always enjoy talking to Linda Ferguson, and watching her have a Select with Diana on her dog was great. Diana is another person I look forward to seeing each year.
Of course, Jane Kerner is to me, the reason to go. Pam and Jeff too are great to see, and Jeff and Jane had another great year. Captain America seems to produce a real stallion type dog. Nancy Mc Donald, Rita, Ken Cunningham, Zoe, Dawn, and so many I don't get to see the rest of the year, make it a great vacation.
Another year with memories to build on. Life is good, and if my plane doesn't crash, it will have been a great National. It is never over until it is over.
As someone told me, it is better to be seen than to be viewed.
Now, back to work.
