Announcement - Judge Change

I am very sorry to report that Mr. Edd E. Bivin has canceled his assignments with the Gallatin Dog Club for our annual AKC All-Breed Show on September 17th and 18th. His wife, Irene, is gravely ill and Edd has chosen to be with her. Please join me in prayers and good wishes for their family during this difficult time.

I have re-assigned breeds and am now waiting for AKC's approval. As soon as they are approved, changes will be posted to the Onofrio website.

If anyone has any questions, they may contact me directly at broedster@aol.com. Thank you for your understanding.

Becky Roeder, President &
2008 Show Chair

New Champion!

Delighted to report that we have a new Champion, CH. Redchief's Tea for Two, an American Foxhound. She got that last elusive point in Monroe, Lousiana over the weekend with Gustav lapping at our heels. (I understand that the night of the day we left our hotel flooded and had to be evacuated!) The last day of the show was cancelled because Homeland Security needed the Convention Center to use as a shelter for evacuees from New Orleans. The show-giving club there handled all the incredible pressures with remarkable good grace. Sure hope we don't have any dramatic weather like that for our show!

The Journey

I'm not sure if I can get this to embed here or not, but I will try. If not, the link is also posted.  All of you who have made the "journey" with dogs will recognize yourselves I think.
