Thumper is now in Novi Michigan the big cluster of all-breed shows (4) plus the USASA Specialty, and he and Maria are off to a good start, garnering a Select under judge Jim Frederiksen for 5 Grand Champion points in an entry of  46 dogs; today's entry increased to 52 dogs but this day's judge David Anthony gave the breed to Thumper. Tomorrow is another all-breed show plus an afternoon USASA-sanctioned specialty so we'll try our luck again!
