Hi Everyone, Well here is another side of the coin...a great friend of mine had a booth at the Niagara Shows and offered to take a B&T boy of mine to show. It's not bad enough he is a B&T, but he is on the small side, about 16 pounds. As luck would have it, most of the dogs there were on the larger side, he never placed better than a 3rd. Now here is the funny part, Jenny recently had abdominal surgery, she can not bend over, so one day she bent down on one knee to tidy Jack up and held her hand out to him so he would look at it. The judge said, "We can tell you haven't been in Cavalier's long, you do not kneel!" Jenny reported to me this evening and I chuckled. Of course, she had no idea of what has been going on in our list, she owns Aussie's. I'm wondering if the judge is on the list or has a friend on it.
