Blessed by a Scenic Drive…
The All-Breed Dog Show held in Soldotna was a bit of a disappointment this year, as there seemed to be an inordinate number of professional handlers. The competition was tough, and it felt grand to be awarded the Terrier Group 4 the first two days. The third and last day was a total […]Archives

Little Victories…
Please do not feel a need to remind me to remain humble… There is no better way to show a dog. And there is no better way to live our lives. I understand that I have a lot to learn. I understand that I can do better. I rejoice; for there is room to […]Archives

Update…
Stirling O’Hanluan is quite a handful. He may not look especially big, but you can’t tell him that. But he thrives on my attention, and at 2 years old he is darn near civilized… …Dog showing has been going well. Stirling was awarded his Championship at Purina Farms in June, and won […]Archives

Champion Stirling O’Hanluan
Where does one begin? We learn so much along the way… Please allow me to extend heartfelt appreciation for family friends and supporters who have taken witness of the comedy of errors that have unfolded as we’ve learned to play this sport well. Words seem to fall short compared to the treasured […]Archives
