            Mackenzie Moore and Apollo went Best Junior Handler 2 out of 4 days in Great Falls, MT back in October, and the other two days went Reserve Best Junior Handler above some lovely young juniors. Then this month (December), they traveled to Orlando, FL where they competed in Juniors at the All Breed shows prior to the AKC Championships, where one day she made the first cut out a LARGE Open Intermediate class.

Before all of that though, he went 3rd Money Male (Show) at the American Brittany Club's Western Futurity in Ritzville, WA 2022

Sari was allowed to miss school today for this show only because she maintained strait A's in all classes (so far...    :^).  She also competes in open intermediate junior handling.

Maggie will do lots of hunting this fall (as usual) and then we will break her for senior/master hunt tests and trials.  She has pup/derby trial placements.
