Hooray for the Chicago club.  An outstanding former Pyr  breeder and still
current owner of Pyrs.  Charles did this for years and did it voluntarily.  I
am sure he has spent a small fortune doing it.  It was ridiculous that so many
people with small minds were so critical and caustic of this devotion and
dedication to the breed.   Even some judges would not present the dogs in such
a fashion that they could be video  taped well by him.  Charles does speak his
mind and so is not in favor in some circles who have broad influence.  The
result is he has done few specialities over the last four or five years.  Our
loss.  Glad to have him back.
