2018 has passed us by in the blink of an eye. We would like to wish everyone, especially our puppy owners a Very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and Happy 2019. Live, love, wag! We don’t have many results show wise to reflect upon in 2018, as we didn’t show as much as previous years. […]

… and the pain is still unbelievably strong. When people spoke about their “heart dogs”, I just thought I loved each of my dogs. Well, I do, but maybe in different ways. Andrew and I both feel a huge sense of loss with Leia being gone. It’s so quiet at home, our arms don’t have […]
