Subject: Today Show
At Westminster this year, the Today Show shot a piece for their "Today Takes
On ." series where each of the four co-hosts - Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann -
had quick handling lessons at our show and then had their own competition on
Tuesday evening before the show. If you missed it today, you can see it on
their Web site at
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/
It is a two-part segment, the first segment aired this morning in the 7:30
half hour. This showed them getting their dogs (Matt - Chinese Crested,
Meredith - Komondor, Al - Standard Poodle, Ann - Neapolitan Mastiff),
getting some instruction from the owners, and then a little handling class
taught by Peter Green.
Tuesday morning we will see the actual competition. It was hilarious in
person, I am sure it will be funny on Tuesday, too. They are competing for
the "Best In Today Show" award, judged by our show chair, Tom Bradley.

MORE CRUFTS NEWS from Kirstie Venton in England!
First of all well done for Diablo and Jada's RCC's at Crufts.
I think Sydor is gorgeous too and will look lovely when he is mature.
He really
should have been placed. I have attached
some pics for you of the girls at Crufts and our baby. The black tri is Shenzi,
a Lorenzo daughter (Ch Thornapple Climate Controlled).
She got 2nd out of 5 in her class. The red merle is Bea, Shenzi's daughter
by
Jag (Ch Thornapple Hot Wheels). She was 4th out of 10 in her class and the blue baby is a Spitty daughter (Ch Thornapple
Powercore)
and Shenzi's grand daughter. She is 4 months in this
pic taken last Saturday. Hope that makes sense. Kirstie

NICE JOB Kirstie!!!! Thank you for sharing! Your Thornapple furry grand kids are
beautiful!
Everyone please take note of Kirstie's gorgeous one of a kind APPLEDANCE
pendant!
A note from Kirstie!
You should put LUCKY pendant. I usually have good results when I wear it!!! I
had a lot of comments about it on Sunday.
So I did a bit of good PR for Amy!!! I wore it when I went to see a band a few
weeks ago too. Well it went well with the
top I was wearing. I have attached a picture for you. The VERY nice man that I
am with is James Toseland. He is the UK's
best Motorbike racer. He races in the Moto GP alongside the likes of
Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden ( I am sure Aaron
will know who they are!). He is also a very talented singer and musician so I go
to see him in his band a few times a year.
A few of the girls that I go with also said my necklace was very nice. Kirstie
WOW!!! TOO COOL Kirstie!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Just an update with some show information from the weekend.
Erica & Diesel won their tough open senior class on Saturday under Darcy Quinlan
& then went on to win BJH.
On Sunday they took third in their class under Charles Quinlan. I'll forward you
the win picture when I receive.
Erica also showed Kimberly's 6 month old pup and wound up going WD with him for
his first points :)
Kimberly is very excited about the possibility of getting a pup from you guys. I
hope everything works out.
Her daughters absolutely adore Diesel. Erica is working with both of them. At
the end of March her daughter is
going to show Diesel in juniors and she is so excited. Received the attached
post card the other day and was
pleasantly surprised to see Erica & Diesel on it. Hope all is well
with ~ miss you! Dianne
CONGRATULATIONS ERICA! Thank you for the update Dianne!

Amy tells us -- Ok, so

out his new club...
the girls were to start bathing dogs...when I got home - the hose was all hooked
up and I thought GREAT they started...
APPARENTLY NOT! Think anyone is ready for summer??
That would be Megan &
