James,
can't wait to see some of the images -- especially the Dog de Boudeaux! There were only 16 Rotties entered this year which I think speaks to the judging more than anything else. NYC is a long way to go -- and a lot of stress on both owners and dogs -- to show to a judge whose opinion you don't respect. Let's just say that the dog that took Breed -- a very nice Rottie boy BTW -- was not a surprise.

Glad it was a good gig for you. Now, get those images processed .
