Amateur Owner Handler Dogs was won by Jeffrey Glenn and Signature's Tony Dinozzo. Jeffis one of the nicest person I have met in years, and I was pleased to see him at a National. I told him to show in Specials, and I think he will be there some day. Actually he has a good dog there.
BRED BY EXHIBITOR DOGS
Seven in there.
There they go Jeff in front, Morris, Diane, Christy, a young lady who runs like the win, Julio, and Liz Oster. Sandy Anderson came by looking for Pam O'Dell, and is waiting for her. Sandy had an accident and hit a deer this morning after someone hit the deer and it flew over and took out the front of her car. Everything happens at the National.
Jeff is out there 355 with Bee Gee's Sepctacular Bid V Franken, then Morris with 358, Madeb's Stiff Meister, and Diane with 359, Brauhaus Deacon V Kruchenbert, now Christy with 360 Hicliff's Ravin Review of Zytur, then Kiedrow's Feel That Fire of Ferlin, and "The Wind Girl" sith Jose Iglasia with Kaleef's Kodiak Campeon number 362, and Marquis' A Beer For My Horses and number 365.
It has quieted down quite a bit. Even the handlers don't see too fired up. Diane is out there, and I do like her dog. I guess that is Deacon, and he is a dark substantial dog. Tim is doubling and the dog is sure keyed on him. He still moves well, and so does the dog. The crowd likes that dog, and they may be cheering for Diane. She hasn't changed in the last twenty years.
We need Helen Fisher here.
We need Tom and Viv.
We need Helen Franklin.
Dick Jennings was going to come, but told me he might cancel at the last minute. If he comes he was going to come today, but I don't see him yet.
361 is going around and a good substantial dog, with great timing.
Now 362, with Jose. Jose is out our way, and breeds Zebras. Now that is something you don't hear every day. Jose broke his leg, and is doing great in the ring.
Michel is lookign them over and goes to the front of the line and walks down and back. And he tells them to take them around. One at a time. Zoe is here and they each do around. The dogs, not Zoe.
359 is clearly the crowd favorite, and there goes Christy. He takes Christy down and back with 360 and goes over the croup. He stares at her, and takes the class around. There goes the first four. Michel sets them aside and looks at the last three. He tests the temperament of 365 and that would be enough for me. But, no one asked me. He looks at 361 and moves him (and her) to second and takes him down and back. Nice dog and belongs to Linda Ferguson, one of my favorite ladies to see each year. I like her husband George too, but he isn't often at the Natiional. And There Goes Jeff with the first dog, 355, now 358 with Morris, Now 361. The crowd likes him. YES, he moves 361 to Second. I guess he was in third. There goes Jose. The dog looks German. And Liz. They stack wth Jeff in front. He says, "Take Them Around". I thinnk that is it, but we watch and Michel walks towards them and that is it.
First is Be Gee's Spectacular Bid V Framlen, Second was Kiefrow;s Feel That Fire Of Ferlin, Third was Madeb's Stiff Meister, and fourth was Hicliff's Ravin Reviewof Zyut.
