Judge’s Report

 I really want to thank you for such an enjoyable day at the match yesterday.  The people from your club are so friendly and the site was just perfect.  It was nice to spend some time you all your dogs to get to know them better.  I have never had stuffed grape leaves and Susan they were just delicious.  I was most impressed with the Rally-O classes-all of you have done such a good job training your dogs and getting others involved in a positive way.
