Why Scott Sommer Makes the Big Bucks or...How to finish a big bitch


As observed earlier in the weekend:  two dogs on the table. 
The ensuing conversation:
Which one is the special?  I didn't think his specials dog was that big.
What?  That's a class bitch, not his special?  Holy Crap.  I think she went
winners bitch at nationals?  Really?  You're kidding me?  Nope, she did.
Who showed her?  Scott.  Oh.  Prior to that she had only 7 points under 5 judges.
(As noted on the AKC website points and awards through May 10)

So back to the recipe on how to finish this bitch that did not do better than Reserve the previous three days of the show:

1.         Enter bitch in Open Class
2.         Hire Scott Sommer to show her and make sure he stays on her.
3.         Finally...Winners Bitch, and her 2nd Major, for 15 points. 
            But are we sure she is finished?  Does she needs the breed to finish? 
            No use taking any chances...
4.         Have Scott pull his Specials, (formerly) Number 1 Dog, MBISS, MBIS, Winner of 2 National Specialties
5.         Scott shows her for Best of Breed...and SURPRISE....
            Best of Breed for a 5 point major and NEW CHAMPION
            because obviously, if he is showing the dog, it must be the best. 

Maybe she was.  
But should our bitches, of any breed, be that much bigger than our dogs? 

So that's how you do it folks.  Scott's contact information can be found on the AKC website.
