If you are watching the show this Saturday, promise to do me one little favor, when you are watching these beautiful dogs grace the ring with their presence, remember behind every one of these dogs there is a team. A team that has worked their hearts out for a moment like this. A team that may not have expected this moment at this time, but has dreamed of this moment ever since they stepped into the show ring. Remember my recent post on Operation Leroy and times that by one hundred. Remember that these dogs and the team behind these dogs are very similar to me and you and that we all share one thing in common, the love for dogs.
