May-June Update
After months again of no updates, we have added a few more recent news entries. Due to the great number of dogs that we are currently showing across the nation, we have been forced to limit our listings to a few significant wins. We thank every judge for every win on our dogs that are inadvertently not listed. We also want to thank all our friends & supporters for being patient as we make these sporadic updates.
