Posting our 2025 wrap up is always bitter sweet.
This year was focused on campaigning Shaker and Scout. They have both done amazing this year! We are so ready for Westminster!
Scout won TWO specialties this year, one in Monroe, MI and the other in some outstanding quality at Orlando during ANC week! Scout was Select at the national and regional for national week. She also won a group and earned several other group placements. Scout was in the top bi***es all year breed and all breed. Plus she earned her rally novice in her "spare time." She is such a fun dog to show and I'm honored to be at the end of her lead!

Shaker was best of breed at the Monroe supported entry, best op at the Texas Specialty, select at the Waukesha specialties and was placed at most of the shows during nationals week and was placed during nearly every show in Orlando! He won a group and many other group placements. He was entered into the AWPGA show dog hall of fame! He earned his JH including his last leg handled by his breeder and co-owner Jody Kirtley. And in 3 days in a row Shaker earned 3 fetch titles! Shaker is also gearing up for Westminster! Shaker was ranked in the top 5 breed and all breed for much of the year.

There have been many others this year to hold my heart while they got to play in left hand circles!
MAS
Bam, came out unsure if he wanted to be a show dog at around 15 mo old but within a few weeks found his feet and took off! He earned his CH in just a few weeks. His grand he earned in just 6 straight show days over 2 weekends with 5, 5 pt majors (and a 3pt thrown in) taking breed all but 1 day as a move up special! He continued to win breed 3 out of 4 days the next weekend as well which was enough to get him ranked #32 in just 3 weekends! He wasn't the judges choice at Orlando but he was 2nd in his puppy sweeps class (and it was a close call!) and was pulled for the cut one day. Not too shabby for a puppy!
Secret finished her Championship this spring and went over specials several times then finished her grand easily by going breed in a massive ring with stellar competition. She threw in a group placement just for fun along the way! She was always one of my favorite girls to show!
Nova was born a show dog and came out swinging! She finished her Championship undefeated in just 3 weekends and her grand (with being shown by her owner as well) in short order too. She had her grand by 8 mo I believe.
Tony was a delightful introduction to Dalmations. A born showman Tony finished his CH and Grand going breed quite frequently including from the classes. He was such a fantastic ambassador for the breed.
Lucchese, despite a minor bracco style setback ended her show year being an absolute rock star going breed at OKC and having the best time in the ring. She finished her CH during nationals week and is only a few points shy of her grand.
Goldie, (MAS) was another fast finish going WB or BOW nearly every day to finish in 2 weekends!
Greta (Long Coat Chi) came out to learn and play before going home to grow up and earned many reserves and best puppy.
Rita (bracco) supported her sister getting her championship then went on to earn several points herself at OKC!
Amber (Lab) earned several points in a few weekends.
Twist (MAS) earned several reserves and her first points.
Dally (MAS) earned a major in his 1 weekend out!
Quincy (Clumber) spent a weekend getting to know me and I look forward to many more.
Chet (Pumi) was best of breed even when he was supposed to support his housemate getting her bronze.
Ash (dal) did well getting to know me her first weekend with me. She was out to try to get her last few points to her Platinum!
There are probably more I missed. I have loved every one of them.
Thank you to everyone that has supported me along the way! You all mean the world to me.
