Last week we made the trip to sunny (and sometimes rainy) Orlando, FL for 5 days of shows that included the NOHS Finals and AKC National Championship!!

I first want to say how proud I am of Hrefna for being the most amazing little traveler. I can always count on her to handle everything in stride with the best attitude - long car rides, hotels, massive venues, multiple days in the ring and she is nothing but her happy self. We also participated in a photoshoot for AKC Canine College for people to learn about the Icelandic Sheepdog breed.

We walked away with:
Wed/Thurs - Select and BOBOH
Friday - BOS in NOHS Finals
Sunday - Award of Excellence in the AKC National Championship!!! (The only black tricolor and only owner-handler awarded)

I'm so proud of my girl. She is the most amazing teammate, and every time we walk into the ring together, I am reminded of what a gift she is. She's a dream come true for me, an amazing ambassador for her breed, and an inspiration for people who dream of having a dog to show on the carpets of big shows like Orlando. She has taken me places I never even considered, and I am so grateful for our journey. ❤️

Happy 18 months to our beautiful constellations!!

I can't believe how quickly time flies. It's hard to find the words to accurately describe how proud I am of these kids. They are still so young, but they are amazing and wonderful dogs with such lovely temperament. Their families are just the best and it makes me so happy to see them thrive. 🥰

Huge Congratulations to Team Corvus!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Ashley and Corvus traveled down to join us in Columbus, OH for the Mid-Ohio Cluster. In a lineup of 6 beautiful Icelandic boys they went WD/BOW for a 4pt Major from the 12-18 Puppy Class!!! This is such a huge accomplishment for them at such a big and busy cluster. Corvus is Ashley's first dog she's ever trained and shown, and they are killing it!! Corvus now has both Majors finished. 🥰

We are so proud of you!! Thank you also to for these wonderful Supported Entry prizes. 😍
