Dudley says Hi!

He wishes it was warmer too!

Griffin Georgia Kennel Club, Atlanta, Georgia Thursday January 30, 2014

Due to inclement weather today's show was cancelled. 

Greater Gainesville Kennel Club, Ocala, FL Sunday January 26, 2014

Well, both Davids could have stayed in bed today.  David Scheiris with Selena, the HCA National Specialty Best of Breed Winner 2013, and David Stout with Kenny, the HCA National Specialty Best of Opposite 2013.  After examination and the final go-round, Mr. Jenkins began pulling dogs to the middle of the ring.  He pulled all of the specials EXCEPT for Selena and Kenny.  OK, so this means one of two things, "We're screwed" or "One of us is BOB and one of us is BOS."  Unfortunately it was the former.  What a slap in the face to two top dogs.

This is not the first time that Mr. Jenkins has pulled the rug out from under my Dave.  When Desi was out a special, Mr. Jenkins and one of his handlers couldn't say enough about how much he loved Desi.  Just couldn't wait to get him in the ring, either for the Breed or the Group.  Dave left a circuit, flew in to show Desi, to Mr. Jenkins, showed like the champ he is, and was barely awarded.

TRULY - 1st
MYRA  -3rd
SELENA -  Best of Opposite

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FRIEND PAM CUNNINGHAM.  She picked up another MAJOR (4 pts ?) on her boy Tapscott's Stargazer of Justamere 1st / Winners / Best of Winners!

Judge Elaine Lessig

After I saw who the judge was, I typed up these Best of Breed results prior to the breed ring time.  The handler of this breed winner, has gotten Best of Breed and usually a Group 1 when he has shown to this judge.  It happened again today, but at least she isn't doing the group.  

Are they related or something? 

Y'know it would also be nice if the judges would learn what the DQ's are for a breed.

Thank You Judge Keke Kahn 

Overheard comment from Mrs. Kahn about the her choice for breed winner today..."Yes, his topline could have been better."  There were three other specials and numerous class dogs with better toplines, that she would not have been able to say that about, but she put up this one.  As everyone says..."Well, it's Keke."   
Things that make you go 'Hmmmm.'

LOOKING FOR A VAN

Well, it's almost official…the big van is dead.  The death certificate hasn't been issued yet, but I believe that paperwork is in the coroner's office. 

We need to replace it soon.  

What is was:
Chevrolet Express 3500, 1 ton, 15 passenger extended wheel base, with rear air/heat both floor and ceiling, and a heavy duty tow package.

What we need:  Something from a large minivan to a sprinter with good rear air and heat, and tow package.  

Dave is in Florida, I am in the Kansas City area.  If anyone knows of an available, reasonably priced vehicle, that was made this century, please let us know.

Judge Kent Delaney

Nurple - Select - but why even bother?
Well, all I have to say is that it must have been one hell of a puppy, or Judge Faye Strauss is taking lessons from Toddie Clark.  She walked a multiple Best in Show bitch, and the rest of the specials (including Nurple) are very nice, and I believe that all of them have at least a few group placements, if not higher.
I want to say "WTF?!?!?!?!" but all I will say is...Things that make you go "Hmmmm.?"

FOLLOW-UP:  It must be Toddie Clark lessons.  Mrs. Strauss gave the puppy dog Best of Breed, then didn't even use it in the Regular Group and Judge Nancy Stern didn't use him in the Puppy Group.  again...Things that make you go "hmmm..."

It took them 2 1/2 hours to get through customs.  Sounds like somebody closed down a few lanes.

My Big Van

Well, I guess Dave's isn't the only one who should have stayed in bed, or at least stayed in.

Our big van broke down today and had to be towed to a shop.  Think it might be a head gasket.
NOT GOOD.
It may be dying a painful expensive death.

At least I wasn't on the highway or somewhere dangerous, and didn't have any dogs with me.

My Honda hit the 200,000 mile mark and needs the $1,800.00 'standard maintenance' package, so I have been driving the van.

Now what?

Keep your fingers crossed that it is an affordable repair.

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...

CONGRATULATIONS LAURA WARMAN !!!

Laura is a dear friend who has been our helper, then assistant for several years now.  We met her while she was working as a vet tech at the vet clinic we used to go to.

Last year, Laura passed her Federal Funeral Director boards, and now that her 1 year apprenticeship is up, she passed the interview and written test for the Kansas State Board Certification.  She has been working hard with her studies and apprenticeship, and now it is all official.  A Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer.

Now if she can just get the funeral home that she works for to pay her more than the guy with a GED who runs errands for the boss, but generally plays games on the computers that the others are trying to use for business.  (Hmmm, wonder what he has on the boss?)  Laura has a college degree, Federal and State board certification, and is one of only two people in the entire staff who can embalm.  You think they'd want to hang on to her.  The other embalmer definitely doesn't want her to leave or he will be stuck doing it all himself.

I have flashbacks to working for the government when she tells me some of the stories.  I hope she finds an employer who appreciates her talents, and will adequately compensate her for them.

CONGRATULATIONS LAURA, AND ALL THE BEST!!!

Dudley - Poor Dudley was filler dog.  Trying to build points for our breeders other dogs.  It kills me to see him lose though.  They got the points on their bitch though, because she took the breed.  The dog that won was BOS, looked like a PBGV, and moved around with the correct topline...for a Havanese.  High in the rear.  But the handler shows a Hav with a level topline, so I guess she got confused.  This imported GBGV has done little or no winning in his home country, but he is an import so must be great right...not.  Some of those breeders won't send their best dogs across the pond, only the ones that they can't place in their home country.  I guess they are trying to take advantage of the fact that most judges don't know what one is supposed to look like so will go with the ever frustrating...'let's put up a handler we know.'

Judge Jeffrey Pepper - he knows PBGVs, maybe that's why he liked this one. 

We would only send our best to another country, because it is the reputation of your bloodlines on the line.  Things that make you go "hmmm."

Doesn't Selena look Pretty....

Came across this photo from October.  I just added it to the post about the Hutchinson, MN show, but unless you went back to look, you wouldn't see it, and  this one is worth sharing!
