This post means so much to me 🩷! The best way I can describe it, is that 🔥Dakota🔥 has been the bucketlist show dog that I couldn’t even have dreamed of when I first got into Dalmatians! 🐾🥹
On Friday, Dakota went 💙GROUP 1💙 at the Genesee Valley Kennel Club show under Judge Donnelle Richards!
This was A DREAM COME TRUE!!! 🥹🐾🩷
Dakota will be 7 in November and I have been showing her since she was 6 months and 5 days old .. first show, DCA 2019!! She amazed me by placing 2nd in a very competitive 6-9 Sweeps and Regular class! It was at that point that I knew I had a very special dog at the end of the lead 🩷🩷🩷!!
Dakota and I have done so much together!
✅Championship at 13 months in Erie, PA (in front of all her friends and family) and went on to win her first OH Group 1 the same day
✅Grand Champion a few short months after she finished her Championship
✅2021 Top 20 Dalmatians in the Country
✅Top 10 Owner Handler Series - Finished #3, with a Best of Opposite S*x in Orlando 2023
✅3 Best in Specialties - Pittsburgh, Western Reseve and Wine Country (all of our regulars)!
✅2 Owner Handler Series Best In Show
✅2 Owner Handler Series Reserve Best In Show
✅AMAZING mom to two litters of puppies!!
💙Group 1💙 and headed off the the Best In Show ring was the last big thing on our bucket list, and with Dakota’s age I had mentally decided it was okay if it didn’t happen (we are not showing much) .. but, we DID IT!
I am incredibly proud, honored and humbled to have this dog at the end of my lead - the first little baby girl I whelped in my childhood bedroom🩷🐾!
Forever, And Always 🔥GCHS QueenB’s First Wild Fire DCAT🔥
