Also thank you to the Anderson family for generously allowing the use of their beautiful farm...and finally the Qualifying judges Jeff Gruber and Andrew Prevost for setting up quality tests and finishing a 43 dog qualifying in 1 day!!!

Our training group was fortunate to get the Qualifying win for Mark Polkey's youngster Kya..Down Da Bayou's Wheredacrawfish Sing..

Kya never had a misstep all day....I was very honored to stand beside her. Enjoy that QAA Mark!!!!

Sable, owned by David Brewerton and a littermate to Kya got a Jam in her 1st Qual.
