  Unfortunately, Des and Rupert didn’t pass this go-

“Be kind to yourself,” she said, “Pass or fail, I love that

  She has plans to requalify Rupert this coming year in
hopes of another Invitational run. If they make it, there
are sure to be many in her corner cheering her on along
the way.

                             Tracey first judged the Invitational in 2007 and has judged 442 Invitational dogs.

                             have been blessed over the years with many fine dogs that have gotten me to that
