I’m behind on posting these. In mid November in Kalamazoo Nelson, handled by our assistant Sarah (yes there are two Sarah’s now 🙂) went Best of Winners and on to Best of Breed from the classes and then on to a Group 4!

At the beginning of December we also showed Johnny at the Ingham County and Saginaw Valley Kennel clubs, and Johnny was Winners Dog both days!

It took me about 5 months to be able to return to showing dogs after my knee replacement but I can honestly say I’m happy to be back and the knee is feeling pretty darn good at this point and only getting better.
This is our newly finished champion, Caroline, Karnovanda’s Sweet Caroline of Kilvei who is co bred by our good friend Sheila Goffe. Special thanks to Laura King, We day Rollins and Kim Alsbury for helping show her the last weekend while I stayed on Johnny.

A few words from Judy-

Rarely do breeders receive special recognition as we are receiving tonight. I am sure that we all share the surprise and honor at being recognized by AKC as Breeder of the Year in each Group.

I offer each of them my congratulations on their achievements and nomination, as I am honored to be included in their ranks.

I thank the AKC for this humbling award.
