American Bred Bitches
WOW! 17 in the class. As they stack, they look like some real bitches. I may go back to the motel and take a nap. I do need a break. Where is Summer when I need her?
I took a break, did you miss me?
Joan is working on her second group. I got a lot done, and she is still working. Everyone seems poised to break into applause, but so far no excitement. Maybe when she gets down the the last ten or so. Only one more group to go. Ha Jae is here and watching the class. Jennifer Root is walking and working the crowd. I just saw Fred Migliore, and it is great to see him again.
Joan sends them out, and in come some new bitches. Handling the entries. Bob Eaton is by, and doing well. His is the last group of the American Bred Bitches, so now we get down to the real stuff. I did check some of the vendors.
The stands have really filled up since this morning. They didn't seem too interested in 12-18 and Novice; but now that Am Bred (and next class Open), the crowd is really watching. They have the reserved seating on the West side of the building and free seats (bleachers) on the East side. On the North and South, there are just aisles, and a lot of people have brought chairs up to the ring to watch. It's Friday afternoon and Joan is still smiling. She is showing no signs of being tired (but we still have several classes to go).
Ok, last group done and Joan brings everyone back in the ring. She takes a long look at everyone, and starts pulling out the ones she likes. She pulls out 485, 488, 492, 496, & 499; and sets them aside. She looks at the remaining 12, and lets them all go home. She pulls the 5 she kept back to the front of the ring and starts the process of placing them in order. 485 Liz with Jenevieve is up front; then 496 Mike with Ada; then 499 Scott with Serena; then 488 Lenny with Daisy; and last is 492 Lindsey with Celeste. She looks them all over, and takes each one on a down & back (no changes). Joan steps back and looks them all over.
Joan has her winners there with the first three in contention. She took Liz in front first, and ow Mike with 496, (Liz has 495) and Scott with 499 now in front. I suspect Liz will go back, but I could go with any of those three. Mike's is moving best on this pass. Joan walks to the first and runs the tail, and Puts Liz Back In Front. I think she just made a statement, and now brings the other two, 4889 with Lenn and 492. Damn nice bitches. What a class.
Joan moves 492 into fourth, and puts Lenny Best of Dump, and YES, that's it.
First is Dream CT-TEBE Nobe Dreams OF Thunder; Second is Yormork's Who's That Girl; Third is Breal-Jogra's Serena V Signature; and Fourth is Von Nassau's Celeste of Norberge.
The first two were Bob's (The Voice of The National), Winner's Bitch and Reserve Winner's Bitch. We have to thank Tony for filling in as I passed out candy to the crowd.
