    More Than "Just A Pretty Face" as printed in AKC Gazette, Jun 98 Miniature Pinscher Breed Column, courtesy of: Faith Gordon). Westminster: What an exciting show for exhibitors and spectators! I had a party at my house to celebrate the occasion, and we all cheered at the TV as the Toy Group came in the ring. I was squirming in my seat to see who had won Best of Breed in Min Pins. I had my official list of the top-10 Min Pins in my hand and . .. wait! The Min Pin in the group, a red bitch handled by Kim Pastella, was not listed in the top 10. Where did she come from? Ch. Sunsprite Absolutely Sable, also known as Abbey, is making a return to the show ring after a year at home. Here is her story: Abbey came as a puppy from Marcia Tucker (of Sunsprite) to Pastella. Pastella, who usually has a Boxer at the end of her lead, hails from three generations of dog handlers and is no stranger to the group ring at Westminster, having twice handled a Boxer to win the Working Group there. Pastella's grandfather, Chic Ceccarini, won the group in1986 with a Boxer. Her mother, Loretta Ceccarini Parolisi, also shows Boxers. A few days after her Westminster win, I spoke to Pastella when our paths crossed at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, N.Y., home of the Buffalo Bills. (Football has not "gone to the dogs," but the stadium has opened its doors to dog shows.) I asked her, "How does it feel to win at the Garden, and where did this bitch come from, as she was not in the current top 10? " Pastella said that Abbey had finished her championship at a young age.

Please note Krista’s email regarding State Fair benching & demo assignments, and note that there are still openings. We now get over 12,000 per day people visiting our new Pet Pavilion. That is because of our beautiful dogs and wonderful people and presentations, but also because of all the new development and new vendors at the north end of the Fairgrounds. That, of course, means that we need more people to help get information out about purebred dogs. If you can bench or you can provide a demo, please contact Krista Peterson, [email protected] or contact me. The State Fair Committee will be sending information out about helping out at the info desk. It’s great fun answering the varied questions we get at the info desk and referring folks to the resources they need. Looking forward to working with you at the Fair. John Armour [email protected] State Fair is only 2-1/2 months away Many of you have responded to my email regarding the 2021 State Fair and there are some who have not responded.

The State Fair is asking for the schedule on or before June 21st. Thank you for all of you who have already booked and to those who plan to help out this year.
