Winning the Group

We are now at the end of a very long 4 day show weekend. Tanner won the Breed all four days. Monday, Newell took him down to the show so I could work, and I went down to pick him up. We were the fourth group. We had not shown to this judge before. Well, I just had that feeling. The judge went down the line, and pulled is cut, the Rottie, the Pry, the Giant, the Portie and Tanner.. Great, we made the cut. WHEW!!! We haven't been doing that. Since he is back from Europe it has been a little bit like starting over. Anyway, he sent them around one and a time and Kevin and I were cheering our heads off. He looked up and down the line again, and pulled TAnner for Group 1.. YEA... BIS was next. The judge examined him and nearly fell over him. Tanner though didn't even notice. He is so solid. She looked at all the dogs, and I thought she really liked him. He did not show as well, was a bit fidgety. But.. the last dog she looked at before making her decision was Tanner. And the winner is...... The Pekinese. UGH>> Oh well.. nothing to be disappointed about. I know his BIS will come. Probably just not when I am there to watch...:(((
