On to 6-9 Puppy Bitches . . . . Evan stepped away. While he was gone, we completed a couple of classes. In 6-9 Puppy Bitches, 14 entered and 10 shown (4 absenses). 1st place was Windfall's Who Says v Chablis; 2nd was Rosewood's Alchemy; 3rd was Depahl's Im Too Sexy; and 4th was Witmer's Got Her Groove at Bodan; but it was too long ago for me to remember who showed what.
The crowd is started to get a little tired - not so many people wandering around, and less noise from the crowd. They bring in the 9-12 Puppy Dogs; 8 in this class, and they are split in half. The first half was pretty quiet (I think some people were getting lunch). The crowd seems to be waking up again. Just watching the end of the indivduals - Diane Brown has Renegade and Mike Sherman has Damion. Next is Lenny with King Edmund (nickname is Eddie Spaghetti - wonder why). Not that individuals are over the crowd is starting to get interested again. Bob pulls up Edmund, Broken Arrow (Kelly), Renegade, Damion and Peyton (Gregg Eschette). Now that he has placed some, the crowd is starting to make some noise as he starts taking the group around. Renegade moves up a spot. Another lap. And that's it. Edmund (Lenny); Renegade (Diane); Broken Arrow (Kelly) and Damion (Mike).
Evan came by, saw someone else was typing away (and not stealing his laptop) and decided that eating was more important than typing. So off he went.
And in come 9-12 Bitches. There are 12 entered, but so far, only 6 have shown up. Rita checks them all, and starts judging. She decided not to split the class. First up is Dilemma. Most of the conversations at this point revolve around food – the consession food is not that great; some people went out to find something (some went to the hotel). I see lots of people who opted for candy bars instead of a real lunch. Next up is cranberry delight. Next is Al Martin with Leah. Next is Elizabeth Steifferman with Kissing Bandit. Each bitch has received some audience support (maybe everyone went back to sleep). Next up is Jeff Pyle with Love Bandit. And last is Lenny with Albeartina. Everyon is back in line; Rita takes a quick look down the line, and sends them around the ring. She pulls Love Bandit & Albeartina to the front. Then then pulls Kissing Bandit and Leah into 2/3. And they go around (Love Bandit, Kissing Bandit, Leah and Albeartina in front). Rita walks over and gives some specific directions; one more time around; and that's how they finish - Love Bandit, Kissing Bandit, Leah and Albeartina.
And the announcer calls for 12-15 Dogs. It's almost 3 o'clock, and we still have 6 classes and the stud dog/brood bitch presentation left for today (I need a nap).
