G.K. Leaves for the Show!

Do you recall that our brother, G.K. has been in intensive training for his very first dog show?  Well, the day finally arrived and breeder, Karen Tracy and handler, Jan Kolnik arrived at the farm to collect G.K. for his big debut.  Karen said that she would email photos to us from the dog show.  We can’t wait to see G.K. behaving like a champion!

Look, G.K.! Franny found Karen and Jan outside! I think they're here to fetch you for your dog show debut! 1 Look, G.K.! Franny found Karen and Jan outside! I think they're here to fetch you for your dog show debut!
