Heartfelt thanks to our wonderful judges, exhibitors and hard-working club members for making our 2023 shows so much fun. The weather served up a taste of spring before plunging us back into mid-winter, but spirits were never dampened!

~Pending AKC review, there were 5 point majors in both dogs and bitches both days~
