CHASE your dreams, cuz they don't come looking for you

What an amazing first year we've had together ... from that day in May, when I brought home a little 7-week old ball of fuzz, to our first points in the show ring, obedience classes, LOTS of handling classes, ex-pens and concession food, and now his Canadian Championship.  Thanks to friends and mentors along the way, as well as the judges we've had the privilege to show under.  Special thanks to Shawna Denning for this incredible boy who runs my house and rules my heart. 

Happy FIRST Birthday, Gracin
