Judge Uno checks on each BOB.

Best In Show judge for show B is Christine Toering of AZ.



As one can see, the sky is pitch dark, it is really late when show B BOBs are being called to the table.

 


Judge Christina checks the three Angoras.   She awards the Best In Show to the New Zealand and the Reserve In Show goes to the French Angora on the right.

The white senior doe at the end wins the BOB and goes on to win Reserve In Show.

On the table is Henrietta being placed the 5th out of 5 colored French Angora senior does. 



If you know Henrietta is 7 years old, placing 5th is not too bad.  It's not too bad that she's alive and coming to the show to celebrate her birthday.
