Proud Mum Brag Post ❤️✨
Those who know us know that this journey all started with one little black fluffy butt, Inky, and Scarlett’s dream of competing in Junior Handlers.
Almost two years later, that dream has grown into something truly special, and our journey continues to be filled with wonderful opportunities, friendships, and unforgettable moments.
In just two weeks, Scarlett will compete in the State Junior Handlers Final, and this year she has the privilege of handling the beautiful Jet (Vanpoms Jet Aint Going Nowhere) as her finals dog.
Jet comes for regular sleepovers every fortnight so he and Scarlett can train together, build their partnership, and strengthen their bond. Watching their connection grow has been incredibly heartwarming. We are so grateful to Donna and Keith from Vanpoms for entrusting Scarlett with Jet, for their generosity, encouragement, and for taking her under their wing throughout this journey.
Today was one of those moments that makes your heart burst with pride. Scarlett and Jet were awarded 1st Place in the 10–13 Years Age Group under Mr. Steve Warry. 🏆❤️
What makes this achievement even more special is seeing how much Scarlett has grown. Week after week she has worked hard, listened, learned, and continued to develop her skills and confidence as a handler. Watching her dedication pay off has been an absolute joy.
She has also recently enjoyed success with Kirby the Rough Collie, placing 1st, and Manni the Australian Kelpie, placing 3rd. Each dog has taught her something different, and every experience has helped her become a better handler.
Most of all, Scarlett would like to thank everyone who has supported, encouraged, mentored, and trusted her along the way. It truly takes a village, and we are so appreciative of every person who has helped her learn, grow, and chase her dreams.
No matter what happens at the State Final, we couldn’t be prouder of the young handler, dog lover, and person she is becoming. ❤️🐾✨
Good luck Scarlett and Jet — we’re cheering for you every step of the way! 🖤🏆🐾
