Maturity Bitches and Best in Maturity

I am leaving they are in the ring. It is up to Tony now.  I missed the first couple of dogs, but Lenny is up next with You Bet Your Asp.  Jeff Pyle is next with Hickoryhills Raspberry Beret.  Some nice applause as he goes around.  Next is Tanbark-Joelle Tanzanite of Chablis.  She is getting faster as the crowd   I got called away, and came back just as Gloria finished the first group.  She takes everyone around as a group, and starts looking them over one by one.  Gloria steps back and suveys the entire group .  They go around one more time, and she pulls up Raspberry Beret, Tanzanite, Shadyrock's cotillion, and TR Marnett's Deal Breaker.  One more time around and Deal Breaker moves to third.  One last look, and she sets them aside to look at the second group.
 
First up is Jimmy Moses with Ch Kridler's Nutmeg v Signature.  Duty called and I missed the entire group individuals.  But the entire second group is back in the ring.  One quick look, and Gloria has them go around as a group.  They stop and set up, and Gloria goes down the line touching each dog.  And around as a group one more time.  Starting at the back of the line, she asks each dog for a down-and-back.  One more long look and she pulls up Nutmeg and Enchanted American Anthem, Clayfield Brier Rose, and Hickoryhill's Magic Marker.  She keeps Nutmeg and American Anthem and dismisses the rest.  Then she pulls in the first group.  She only keeps Raspberry Beret and TR Ro' Elsia v Anne-isle from the first group.  She moves Nutmeg to msecond behind Raspberry Beret.  Anotehr long look. . . . One more time around . . . and the winner is Raspberry Beret.
 
I am pleased how Markie looked and tickled for Randy.  That was tough competition, and I can't complain. Besides, no one will listen to me anyway.  I love Raspberry and hadn't seen her before.  I would think she will go Select, and both she and Markie won Futurities and Maturities in different regions. The Grangers should be proud.
 
Evan here.  Markie looked great, and her litter-mate won. So, it's all good.  Now for Best in Maturity Bitch or Dog.  It will be Raspberry against Ray Bearone.  Those are two great shepherds.  How cool, I own the littermate to the Maturity bitch.
 
Best in Maturity, Winsome's Ray Bearone V Ekolan.
 
More to come.
