WHERE THE DOGS ARE

Also missing from tonight’s groups will be the Number One Dog All Breeds, the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter Silver Charm, who took the Sporting Group today in Allentown, and the Number Two Dog, the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova, who followed suit in Cleveland.  We will see the Number One and Two Toy Dogs tonight, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, and the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare.

But don’t despair.  Connie francis Might have thought that Florida was where the boys are, but tonight it's were the dogs are.  We have seen plenty of talent here in Orlando during the past three days. We will bring you the excitement as it happens.  We do expect some surprises.
