We hoped for good things from Judge Sandra Goose Allen on Thursday, and were disappointed. We had high hopes for Judge Keke Kahn yesterday, and yes we took the breed, but nothing in Group. Today was a total unknown for us in Judge James Briley of Louisiana. The dog that has been advertising "Painting the town Blue" in the Canine Chronicle, yet has never won a Group 1, just beat out the only 2 Havanese to get Back to Back Best In Shows, Roché and GraDee. Now at least they have something legitimate to advertise.
I guess maybe I am sounding pissy, but when you lose to a good dog, you lose to a good dog. But when you lose to something you would be embarrassed to sell as a pet, that's a whole different thing. Roché did get Select today though to add to his GCH ranking. So we will be thankful for small blessings.
