HAVANESE
Truly - pulled
BOOTY - 4th in her class
SELENA - SELECT - Dave had another professional handler show Selena. Carol presented her impeccably. We knew that Mrs. Stacy wouldn't put up Dave for the breed, but we will never have to worry about showing to her again. Tomorrow JS has Bichons, but if Dave can't get someone else to show Nurple, he won't be shown to her.
Congratulations to friend Pamela Cunningham for going Best of Winners and picking up a major on her boy!
Judge Jackie Stacy
Well we entered today hoping for a judge change, and while Mrs. Stacy did have several changes for her breeds, the Havanese was not one of them. Dave stayed on Booty, hoping against hope, to finish her today.
The Open Bitch shown by Harry Bennett's assistant/partner/friend/whatever was the last bitch in the class. He was allowed to go out of catalog order at his request. All bitches in the Open Class has been examined, and the 'down & back' started with this bitch when Harry came running up and said that he 'needed' to show this dog. Mrs. Stacy allowed the change. Harry completed the down & back and the final go-round, on to Winners Bitch. Talk about pushing the limits. Remember when the rule was 'once the dog had been examined by the judge, no changes' Well it's no longer a rule, it's a 'Policy' and this is what it is now, from the AKC Rules, Policies and Guidelines for Conformation Dog Show Judges:
[P] Change of Handlers A single change of handler on
a dog is permitted at the judge’s discretion up until
the time all dogs in the class have been individually
examined and individually gaited. After that, no
change of exhibitor is allowed.
Kind of sucks...
BICHONS
NURPLE - Best of Opposite - (3 GCH pts)
While I would love for Nurple to have taken the breed, BOS to this beautiful bitch will have to do. It is a tough line up for specials in the Bichon ring this week. Wish we had a backer for him so we could do some advertising. Any takers?
Thank You Judge James Ham

DUDLEY - BEST OF BREED
