Select Bitch & Award of Merit - Specialty Havanese Owners & Lovers Association
November 27, 2015


Taffy should have had the breed.  Long story, confused judge, doubting himself, ran her around the ring with several dogs, including Bugs, then called out the first bitch that he moved around with her, and gave them BOB!!!  He told Dave that "If she had only had more expression on that last time around"  WTF?!?!  Her expression was probably, "Make up your freakin' mind, I have never had to move around the ring this many times!"  Poor Dave, his knee has hurt ever since.  THEN…After the bitch who had been resting this whole time was awarded BOB, the judge turned to Dave to give Taffy Best of Opposite.  Dave, said "No, that one is a bitch."  The judge looked confused as if he thought that the BOB was a male, then didn't know what to do.  Since Bugs had been out there most of that time, he was given BOS, then Taffy got SELECT AND AWARD of MERIT.  Didn't quite get that, and it took an award away from another dog.  But, as they say, "It is what it is." 

Note to photographer:  Don't quite get the podium either.  At first glance, I thought they were standing on a casket!
