The dogs pictured here are just a few of the special canine friends we have made along the way! Not all are "Champions of record", however, each and every one has a very special place in our hearts and we will not soon forget ANY of the special souls that have touched our lives. We thank the breeders and owners of each of the dogs we have shown for allowing us the honor and priveledge of conditioning and presenting these wonderful dogs!

At 11 mos she won Best Of Breed over specials, and went on to win Group 1. She was keeping very good company in the group ring; the no.1 Dalmation, the top Schipperke, one of the top Bichon Frise, a top Chow Chow, and the number 1 Shar Pei to name a few. Dina did not continue her show career. She followed a higher calling. She lives an AZ and recieved training from TOP DOG and became a service dog and now assists her new owner who has MS.
