A very BIG thank you to everyone that helped at this show, this was a lot of dogs to juggle and there is no way I could have done it without the support. It was great company visiting with friends and swissies. I enjoyed seeing Sophie's boy Bullet to see how nicely he is maturing and my co-owned boy Nash (Timber x Onna) was entered on Monday for his first show and did great! Looking forward to see the official show photos.
