But the judging was not over as the pups Biscuit, Casey, Cora, Maggy and others competed in the same classes for the altered dogs. Paula Palestine was thrilled when Maggy took the prize for the altered dogs and Anna and Biscuit were delectable as the best of opposite sex award winners.

During the judging of the pups the "pros" were busy with their dogs, getting ready for the Parade of Champions. The brushes and combs were flying and finally, the champs entered the rings, dogs in the first group. As the first dog went around the ring John Short read a short bio of the dog, and on it went from there until all 17 champions present had been paraded.
