The Great Ones – Ch. Nornay Saddler
Just as the music of Duke Ellington was the link between the Jazz Age and the new era of swing, a little terrier of that same era, Ch. Nornay Saddler, bridged the transition between the old way of dog showing and the modern campaigning we see today.
Been There Done That – Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico
From the time my plane landed in Leon on August 4th at the Guanajuato, Mexico Airport until I took off on August 8th, along with fellow judge John Ramirez, we enjoyed the sights, sounds, taste, people, and the dogs we encountered in this warm and inviting part of Mexico.
