2008 started off with a 'Bang'! We went to our first ASCA show of the year
and came back with piles of ribbons.
Kate showed Cody in Open 9-12 Junior Handling. What a 'good ol' boy'! He knows
his job so well.
Katie won 1 Reserve Junior Handler win and 3 Best Junior Handler wins over
senior handlers. Go Katie and Cody!
Kate 11-1/2 and Cody 9-1/2 ... 9-12 Open Juniors
Katie also showed our little Dixiana girl, Paris, in the puppy class. She
took her class...a class of 2!
We wanted to get her feet 'wet' so when it comes her turn to take the spot
light, she will be ready!!!

Kate
taking 1st in her Novice Jr. Handling class
Kate is 11 years old (in 2007) and is competing in Open 9-12 showmanship
class in both ASCA and AKC.
Her show career started when she was 4 years old, handling Ch Badgerland's
Beauregard in the "PEE WEE" class in ASCA.
At present, Kate is working with several of the dogs and has joined the 4H program with Story. Together, they will be
training in obedience, agility and showmanship.
Paris, the newest member of our 4-legged family, is learning her "basics"
with Kate and will be shown and trialed exclusively by her.
Kate has a natural gift when it comes to understanding and training dogs. She
trials Cody in Elite and Excellent agility and out-runs a lot of the
adults...she truly is an amazing, talented young girl!
Best buddies...Kate & Cody
