SAD NOTE ABOUT THE WEEKEND:  
AKC JUDGE LUIS SOSA IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER.  
WE HAVE ALL OF THESE WINS AND NO PHOTOS.  
I have strongly recommended to my husband David that he never take a show photo when this man is the show photographer.
We have NEVER had a good photo from this man, and we have had a letter threatening that he would refuse to take our win photos if we didn't start purchasing them off of his website.  WELL MR. SOSA, I would love to have good win photos of my dogs, but the key word is GOOD.  I don't enjoy paying $50 for a photo then having to spend time try to make it look like it should have looked to begin with.  As photographer, you are the only one who can see what my dog is going to look like in the photo.  If a stack or coat correction needs to be made, TELL ME!!!  I don't want to have my dog in a stack that feels right and have him take a step forward at the last minute or have hair going all the wrong direction.  When I take photos, I want them to look great.  It is my name on that as photographer and I take pride in my work.  I wish you did. - DARLENE SCHEIRIS
