Bev and Jerry,

My heart aches for you both after just reading about the loss of your dear Pixie. When you told me about her diagnosis, I had hoped you would have many more months/years with her. ...

Marv,

So sorry for your loss. Kate was a wonderful dog, and a ton of fun to watch -- not so much fun to compete against however! She will be missed by many.

My thoughts are with you and your...

My deep condolences to Paul's family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cordova in person. A few years ago, however, we correspondence via e-mail and telephone when I was trying to place a...

Thanks for the opportunity!

FYI, I have spoken with the injured dog's owner several times since her injury. I was extremely worried about her since she was hurt on our "watch". She has since recuperated completely, is back in...

I don't believe any Derby judge goes into a trial expecting the stake to finish at three series. Unfortunately, there may be some circumstances where it is inevitable.

Our own Chris Atkinson and...

My condolences to Vicki Worthington and Dave Sniegowski on the loss of Worth-It's Yosemite Sam this past Friday. Sam was a product of a breeding between Jim Dorobek's FC AFC Cornerstone Wizard of Oz...

Regarding the examples of poor sportsmanship we have all witnessed, and with the trial and test seasons just beginning for this year, I hope to start a thread showing examples of true sportsmanship....

Vicki:

Sorry if you felt I was "slinging mud" -- that was not my intention. I am glad you wrote that what you originally posted was "totally bizarre", and have modified your stance in stating...

Vicki,

Several points to make regarding your original post and subsequent explanations:

1) If you truly feel only FC or AFC bitches should be bred, you would never have bred Cruise to any...

Very fortunate enough to win an Open, a few Amateurs, and a few Quals. Placed in some Derbies, but I never handled a dog to a win in that stake.
