| BRING ON THE NEW!!! |
| YEAR 2006 IN REVIEW |
| Accomplishments in 2006 I achieved with my dogs were many. They were executed exclusively by me & my dog's wins & achievments were obtained with me handling. My dogs were not shown by breeder/judges signed on as co-owners, no professional handler pointed my dogs, & my dogs did not win under judges in which I have used their dogs at stud or that I co-own dogs with. I raised 3 beautiful healthy litters this past year. I had the opportunity to catch up with long-time friends & make many new ones. Cherished friends went over to Rainbow Bridge in 2006, Laika Russian Melody & Russian Lil' Richard. I am looking forward to a more successful 2007 with several goals on the horizon. Below is an encapsulation of my Borzoi's 2006 achievements which would not have been possible without the outstanding quality of the dogs I am working with, whether bred by me or by others. The following people can never be thanked enough for all the support, assistance, advice, encouragement & guidance that made this past 2006 a great success! Anticipating much success in 2007 to our extended family! |
