I don’t really share too much about me personally here because to be honest, I’m not as cool, exciting, or as cute as my dogs. But I realized something yesterday on my birthday. I turned 32 years old. I’ve been showing dogs since I was 16. My 32nd year on this planet marked that I spent HALF of my life being involved with dogs! It’s absolutely mind boggling.
But I wanted to share some doggy accomplishments I have achieved in 16 years.
Showed a Shiba named Beni at the Grand National & placing (2016)
Got an article published in the AKC Gazette in 2022
Had Nekora get on the news to promote the AKC Meet the Breeds in 2022. I was also in charge of the booth.
Have the first Shiba to get the FCAT title (Nekora) in 2018.
Had Delilah score a 97 on a novice rally trial earning her the 2021 NSCA (National Shiba Club of America) Outstanding Rally Novice award.
Have 3 Shiba get awarded the NSCA versatile award.
Was the first person to be awarded the NSCA Educator’s award in 2023.
Guided Brently to 2 Best in Open shows, Astrid to a UKC reserve Best in show, & a UKC reserve best in show puppy.
Won Winner B*tch at a regional specialty for a major with my first show dog Chi, a Samoyed.
Got Nekora’s AKC championship & Grand Championship as an owner handler, including 4 majors for her Championship, & a regular group 4 as a class entry.
Been to Japan not once, but 4 times, my last trip was for 89 days! All thanks to dog connections.
Never had a man love me back but have had the privilege of having 6 dogs love me with their entire soul.
