I feel a little redundant doing this because most of the world knows about the Big Win.  The highlight of my year, maybe my life, was winning Best of Opposite Sex with Marley at the AWC National Specialty.  That makes BOS at two National Specialties in two different countries, as he won that award at [...]

In 2008, Nouveau’s Ladies Man made his mom proud by winning the Northwest Versatility Weekend for a second year in a row.  I’m thankful Dapper enjoyed an injury free year on the field with his littermates and friends.  His best two-legged friend, Jade Swepston, was kind enough to stack him nicely for his photo.  Best wishes to everyone for [...]

What a strange year for me and my whippets.

He earned points in BC, California, and, finally, in Pennsylvania the day after [...]

The National specialty in Eugene was a truly enjoyable event and Miranda and Shelby made their appearance.  Thanks to Linda Buchholz for presenting Shelby so beautifully. We launched into the summer to complete Miranda’s Canadian Championship.  A few highlights along the way include back to back [...]
