Me and Racket (new Am.Ch.Minuteman Underworld) at the MSC of Southern California yesterday, finishing his championship. Followed an hour later by new Am.Ch.Minuteman Goldikova finishing hers!
Thanks again to the guest bloggers for making this very excellent year possible.











BRAVA, Kate. We're very proud of you, and your cute, little dogs too!
Well done!
Congrats Kate but really ... Racket and I, please. :)
you will be known for your DOGS:-)))

For the purposes of grammar-Nazism, subtract Racket and re-write it this way in your head: "Me at the MSC..." vs. "I at the the MSC...".
THIS IS WHY WE NEVER QUESTION KATE!!!
(Congrats Kate, dog.)
Congratulations, Kate! Well-done!
How many dogs do you have at any one time? Do your champions go to other homes, or do you keep them?
Great job you two.
That looks like Clay in the picture. He showed a Schnauzer or two...
CONGRATS, Kate!! Well done!
p.s. for the grammar questioners, I concur with Black Mamba... you can try it this way to see what works and sounds better: "This is ME and Racket at the..." or "This is I and Racket at the..."
Kate was right...(of course!)
Grammar nazis ya gotta love em. Kate the schnauser whisperer of southern Saskatchewan.
Congratulations Kate, we miss you.
The guest bloggers are doing great. Don't get stuck in the mud on the way home.
Juz grate Katie me lassie! Cheers;
(Was Kate awarded some kind of ceremonial owl figurine? Is that what happens?)
Black Mambo/Ken - If you ever call me any kind of nazi again, be prepared. Sycophants! Anyway, regardless, well done Kate.
By the way, I believe it would be Racket and me even if you have it your way. That goes for you too wuberman.
Yes, Kate used a sentence fragment. But, as that fragment is written, the words "Here is a photo of" are implicit at the beginning. So, she was entirely right to use "me".
Look, I'm harsh but fair and I call 'em as I sees 'em. Kate 1, Critics 0.
It was meant in jest ye guardians of the fair Kate. Sheesh. By teh (sic) way, it would still be, "Here is a photo of Racket and me at ..."
Nice win
Congrants Kate and doggies. I must admit those schnauzers are better looking hounds then this lot..

A beautiful Schnauzer, groomed to perfection.
Congratulations Kate, nice to be rewarded for all the effort involved.
Bravo Kate.
Nice pic.
Next year go into Beagles as a test of your skills - but only after you appear on Ezra's show.
Yes, that was Clay Coady. Today Golda was Best of opposite sex (again), Venus was Select Bitch. Racket stayed in his box, he comes out again tomorrow.
Kate:
Do you happen to have a portrait of yourself in the attic that gets older as you get more pretty (a la that old movie "Portrait of Dorian Grey")?
Oh...heh...the dog was great too. Personally, if I could manage to get my golden retriever to stay still enugh for a pic I'd be delighted.
I imagine the competition for "Select Bitch" was fierce, being so close to Hollywood and such.
Congrats to you all. Better picture of the breeder this time btw.
Congratulations, Kate and dogs! Very impressive!
Congrats, Kate!
By the way, is that a miniature Schnauzer (or Mauser) in my pocket, or am I just happy to see you? :)
Cheers!
Midnight:
I thimk you just won the grand prize for the cleverest comment omn this thread. Congrats.
And I know Kate will never admit it, but I also am sure that she is flattered.
