Sincere congratulations to Team Preston for an outstanding circuit in Orlando and a stellar year. When you think about it, “Preston” racked up more points in Florida than most dogs get in an entire show year

Greetings again from sunny Orlando! As the first day of the Royal Canin AKC Championship wraps up and we head into day 2, I would like to extend my most sincere congrats to all the winners. So many folks from all over the world have come to get that very special win. Let us not forget that a big win for one may be significantly different than a big win for someone else. I get so happy, teared up in fact, when I see someone get so excited over a win that they tear up, jump for joy, and demonstrate pure elation!

Finally, our deepest condolences to Frank Baylis on the loss of his mother this past week. She was 91 years young and her influence on Frank is very apparent. Ask him to tell you a story about her next time you see him. He has a million of them.

Please keep Ron and Debbie Scott in your prayers, too. Ron had a setback in his recovery from a subdural hematoma and is back in the hospital. We hope he is back on his feet soon!

Heads up to all that are planning to enter Westminster. Entries close on December 2nd, as in this Friday!

In partnership with Roberts Centre and Eukanuba Hall, WEC is available for dog shows and competitions in Southwest Ohio. In preparation of our dog shows we wet and roll the footing so that it is a hard surface. This allows for a safe and comfortable event for your canine friend.

I was saddened to hear that our dog show family has lost another long-time family member: Roberta Campbell passed away suddenly from a stroke. Mrs. Campbell was a breeder and handler with her late husband, the famous terrier handler Seth Campbell. Please join us in wishing Roberta’s family and friends most sincere condolences on her loss.

Let’s all send positive thoughts to Ron and Debbie Scott. For those who don’t know, Ron suffered a subdural hematoma and is recovering at home post-surgery. He has another surgery ahead of him in a few weeks, so everyones’s thoughts and good wishes are appreciated. You can reach out to Ron and Debbie via Facebook if you do not have their email address. Gerry Meisels has also been hospitalized for several weeks, but I hear he is finally on the mend! I am certain he would love to hear from his friends in the dog show community.

Many of you are not aware that our good friend Ron Scott suffered a subdural hematoma last Friday, which required emergency neurological surgery where part of his skull was removed. A two-hour surgery and 57 staples and 2 stitches later, Ron was placed in intensive care then critical care until Wednesday. He has since been released and is recovering at his home
