I watched the WHOLE thing and it was the BEST TRAGICALLY LONG VIDEO you have ever done!! I so wished I could have been there and I started bawling when you won the Sweepstakes. What was the judge saying? It's like she was talking to you mainly and you were saying stuff back? I thought she wanted to give the BOS to the tri bitch (was the other tri a bitch?) but at the last second thought "Oh, I'd better give it to the smooth? Who was the tri behind you in the BOV ring? And who was the blue in front of you. These are things I need to know. And I loved the music, especially when you could still hear the background clapping and dogs barking. Nice touch!! What a great weekend you had Jolene and yes, big memories!! Tate is so cute and just looks like he loves being back in the ring!! Oxoxoxoxoxo!!!!!!!!

Diana I am so glad you watched the whole thing!!! you really have to to get the whole experience,
The judge was talking about Veteran in general, the impact they have had on the breed, stuff like that, I obviously related more then everybody as Tate was 2 years older then all of them.

I loved the tri bitch too!!! You have a great eye, she is by Lochlaren Liaison X Lochlaren Rosebank Joyride, bred by Barbara Cleek
the blue was the winners bitch bred by Nancy, she is by Tallywood Paparzzi X Tallywood Extravagance

That was quite the final line up! The smooth in front of Tate is Kennedy, he got an AOM last year at CCA and has won our Canadian National, plus is a Best In show winner!!
Go Tate!

Ok, the Lochlaren tri bitch, was she also the one in the ring with you in Sweeps that I thought the judge was going to give OPP to? What I loved about watching the sweeps judging is you could see her going over the heads and it's like you could see her hands going over SMOOTH heads, like I'm assuming Tate is (knowing his father). Not saying it was, but it looked like the smooth at the end wasn't as smooth in the head. She didn't spend that much time going over that dog (in Sweeps). When I feel a clean head, I want to touch it over and over because it's such a great sensation. A boney head....not so much and while there are other things to having a great head that is one of my "must haves".

I just watched the whole thing... I am supposed to be going for groceries, LOL! I cried. It is beautiful. It was not too long. I love when you get to see everything. I am so proud and happy. My heart is always with the veterans. I liked that the judge hugged you (that is when my tears started), and at 15:20 I love your move to stand him out and bait him, his neck arched and he won right there in that moment to me. In the breed ring, I love that the judge came and showed respect to him by taking a moment to let you show him to her. He looked great in there. Well done Team Tate.
