Thanks so much to everyone for all of the kind comments, congratulations, and excitement over Juma’s big day at the Puyallup Valley Dog Fanciers show on July 3!

It was his very first outing to a dog show, and to come home with Best of Breed and 2 points made the day one I will never forget. I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to celebrate this special Kohl x Solntse baby with us. ❤️

Here is the boy getting his first taste of the group ring and learning to move out. So much fun to begin figuring it out together!

(Juma is co-bred and co-owned by me, Mary Ann Rose - Goodnight Trail, and Christina Shepard Hart - Blackmoor)

News flash!

Juma turned 9 months old today and celebrated in a very big way at his first AKC show. Under Judge Stacey Davis, he was Winners Dog for his first point, Best of Winners, and then went on to Best of Breed over a special for a second point and Owner-Handled Best of Breed!

I could not be more excited or happier to share this news with Juma’s co-breeders and co-owners, Mary Ann Rose of Goodnight Trail and Christina Shepard Hard of Blackmoor.

With the Belmont Stakes held this past weekend, it seems only fitting to celebrate a Triple Crown of my own!

Two dogs that I am proud to have co-bred and three co-own earned wonderful wins, making for one unforgettable weekend. While the ribbons are exciting, it is the memories made and the people who share this journey that mean the most.
