A very special thank you to everyone who attended the American Rare Breed / Kennel Club show in New Jersey yesterday:
Teresa Cutler & Dylan
Dottie Brown & Max
Mark Firley & Kona
and my family:
Ben, Chayce, Freyja, Darwin & Raven

Once I figure out what all the ribbons are, we'll post results. Here is the rundown for what happened:
ARBA was trying out a new system where there are three judges in the ring at the same time: so it's like doing three shows simultaneously. All dogs entered in yesterday's show entered in 12 shows total: 6 ARBA and 6 KC shows. KC judges filled out scorecards and we received those back. Twelve shows in one day was a lot--but I could see where it is worth it because entrants have the ability to earn their International Championship in one weekend! Holy cow!
So each group went into the ring and was judged by three judges, at the end was the competition for Winners Dog & Bitch then for Best In Show. THEN we started all over with three new judges. Wow!
We may have a special announcement at the end of the week regarding this show. *Insert suspenseful music...*
