Nice to get placements in such competition.

Enjoyed meeting up with people I haven't seen for a while including some of our breed's grand old ladies. Also, it was great to finally meet Elizabeth Zedel from Canada after 14 years of online friendship. She is the breeder of Sweetspot Top Gun that I got from her in 2009. Really enjoyed discussing some potential future plans with her.

Got the chance to meet two of Foppa's offspring in Holland, from kennel With A Laugh. The son, Do It Together With A Laugh, placed 3rd in junior class males, a happy family dog to be proud of. I hope his novice owners keep on practicing and showing him, best of luck!
