GWP Club of Eastern Nebraska Specialty – July 16, 2010 By Ellen Herminghaus The competition was hot! It was a hundred degrees and the humidity pushed the heat index to one hundred and twenty, or close to it. There were great prizes at stake - Diana Wise’s hand-made boxes and Sean Perry’s original note cards to mention a few. Laura’s dog Melody presented well in the Sweepstakes for Judge Julie Simmons. She is still a youngster, but shows lots of enthusiasm and potential. There was no competition for her today, but she’s looking for some!
This was one of those days when all the entries won their classes, so everybody got to compete against Scout and Chico in Best of Breed. It didn’t take anyone long to figure how it would turn out – in fact, I surmised our fate the night before the event when I drove into the arena parking lot and saw Mr. Frank Murphy’s outfit parked next to Laura Reeves’! The Judge, Mr. Eugene Blake did a splendid job judging the Specialty. He went over every dog with a keen eye, and all the dogs were given careful consideration. Eventually, all five dogs entered were awarded AKC recognition and a prize. Congratulations Scout for going Best of Breed! Thanks to Rhonda Haukoos for helping out as our Steward for the day, and to Robin Miller and Chuck Casanova who worked hard at making this such a nice event. And thanks to Laura Reeves who also worked hard putting the event together, and who showed my dog Chico with intensity. See them in action on the following pages. Also at the Specialty, Ch Root’n Scoot’n Blowing Going RE was competing for the last leg of his Judge Eugene Baker takes a hard look with “Snippet” and her handler watching.
