There were many interesting things if you take time to look at them. How many selectsdid the Frason's have? Where before have two litter mates gone Select. How many Selects Did Dan and Maryln Smith have. I am sure there are other things to look at too. Tedi and I co-own the sire of the number two male. I know it is a stretch, but I will take any glory I can get.

I watched Ed go over and over his males time and time again to see who he should cut. He didn't find anything when he got down to twenty, and they were all great dogs. The first two were fantastic, and never let up.

Flower Boy helped me most of the way and then Cyndy took over. It was hard on her since by then everyone around us was talking and asking her things, but she did a great job.

There was a great deal of personal animosity shown to me at the show. Some of the board outright were rude, and some even insulting. Nancy Nellis could not have been nicer, and I know she was under pressure from some board members.

I didn't go to the dinner, so someone else will tell you about next years judges. I would have loved to listen to Ed, but in the end the rest of the treatment was not worth it. I enjoyed doing the Blog again, but with the extra pressure, it took the edge off. I spent some good time with Bill Bergraff and he said if the AKC stopped the show we know who to blame. I told him to look at who caused the law suit to be needed, and not the person who sued. It is like blaming the bank because someone robbed it.

I hope we can get back to doing the best we can, and get rid of the personal hatred that caused such terrible acts that hurt our club.

Our breed is strong. The quality was so deep and the wins were deserved. Thanks for letting me share with you and next year has to be better in all ways. I enjoyed the National, but it was not much fun.
