After the first cut.

It looks like she is taking those she cut with a group of six. So they are all going to get a second chance.  It isn't nice to tease handlers. All went to Doggie Purgatory, and the unkindest cut of them all.  That decision was made on one pass.

In comes another group. Still with dreams of going Grand Victor is they have a better pass.  That is all it would take.

She has 18 keepers unless he finds something that excites her. YES she pulls out After Burner with Courtney.  

Then there were 19.  And another group, another six.  And they stop at the exit to hell.  Iliana pulls Lenny with Kaybear Bearyant.  I don't have to say who the breeders are do I?

Now I think she is down to 20.  and now the keepers, who can plan on bonus for the handlers.  I remember being in the ring when Ed Barret told 18 of us we were going Select. And off they go.  An impressive group of dogs. With Alex in front then Nancy. And off they go for another pass.   I have to admit from up here they look good.  She excused Jupiter Rising and kept the rest.  On to another group.

Art is in front with Luke, but I don't think that means anything.  And off they go for the last chance.  And a second pass.  Art gets pulled in front and she excuses Lunch Money and After Burner.  One of those that was let go was dismissed, kept and then re-released.

Now on to another group honored to make the first cut.  Seven in there and this is the end of this round.  Here it comes!  She keeps  five of seven, and is down to 15. Armstrong is till there. Ilove that dog, and up close he is a real star. So far other than that they are in the position they were in when they came in.

Now five, (three groups of five) and takes them down and back.  She is moving them in the placings and tells them to take them around again.  Alex still in front.  Iliana sets them aside, moving Oh My up one place.

Another five.  Art in front with Luke. she put Art at the back and move Finius to the front.  They all stay in and here comes the rest.

There are still 15.  Everyone is so happy to be kept and here go the winner's Dog and The veteran and stay.

OK Iliana, iat is time to start organizing your Selects.  She is pulling the first three of the first and second group, and looks them over and pulls all of the last group.  So eleven over in heaven so far, and another four with prayers and she is taking them around. I don't have high hopes for them.  but, they still do.  She pulls Oh My and lets the rest go. Then there were twelve.

Iliana walks down the line giving everyone a good look.  She takes the first six and off they go.  Alex still in front.  She moves No Crying to second, and off go six more. She walks over to them moved Dirty Denim and Cal, but alex still in front.  Now the first three.  Alex, George and Al Martin.  Now another three and it getting loud in here. And she moves up a couple, but still Alex in front.  Off that group goes goes.   Now the last six go to the end, and I would guess that is her final choice and they all gooff, and they stop and she walks over to them and YES, ALEX HAS THE GRAND VICTOR REDEMPTION.

TONY IS GOING DOWN TO GET THE NUMBERS, SO MORE WHEN I HAVE THEM.
