The Big Valley RA shows at Stockton claimed two first: Allen's first time of judging an open show in California and the showing of Broken Havana.

Allen was in Africa for three months. Though we saw his photos and read his reports, we were still in shock when we saw him in person. His hair is a lot longer and he lost a lot of weight, and he has a dark suntan. He judged an open show in Oregon last week but this is his first open show judging in California. One of his breeds is Havana.

Broken Havana was accepted as a new variety in the 2007 ARBA convention in Grand Rapids, see http://ncag.blogspot.com/2007/10/broken-havana-accepted-as-new-variety.html. It became eligible for showing on February 1, 2008. The show at Stockton was held on February 2, the first show that the broken Havana is eligible to earn legs.

We have here photos of Allen judging and the exhibitors of the broken Havana.
