Great Job Jenny!  Congratulations!


Introducing Jessica!  Jessica is a huge Australian Shepherd fan!
She comes to visit us each year at the Crown Classic in Cleveland.
Jessica would LOVE to own an Australian Shepherd! 
She has dreams of being a Junior Handler!
We KNOW that she will be an AWESOME Junior Handler!
We were honored to meet Jessica's aunt this year.  She brings Jessica to the show each year.
Jessica's aunt is willing to take her to dog shows if her mom gives the okay to own an Aussie!
We hope that Jessica's dream comes true!
After helping us potty dogs and working Spitfire on lead, Jessica declared,
"This is the best day of my life."  Good luck Jessica! 


Maria Neff * Open Senior Junior Handler  with Ch Ragtime Vertical Horizon "Mira"
Maria took a 2nd place on Friday against stiff competition from all over the country!

AND Maria wins a leg in Open Agility with her dog, Buddy, to finish his Open Title.
Congratulations Maria!


Kelly Hatton & Vikki Davidson engaged in serious conversation!


Okay, maybe it's not so serious!


Sure wonder what's so funny?


It's nice to see Kelly at the dog shows again.  We've known Kelly since he was a
young, very talented, ASCA Junior Handler!
Kelly and his mom, Judy Hatton, used to come to our farm every summer for our ASCA shows.


From Michael Wilson, Sudan:  Congratulations on all your winning over the last week or so! 
Good job by you and all the Thornapple owners, handlers, etc.

 While you may not get B.O.B. every time out, you ARE a lock for B.O.W.S. (Best Of Web Sites) every time out! 
Another great effort.  Keep up the good work.

By the way, how about that sexy girl holding the MSU Dancers Poster!  I'm really looking forward to getting it. 
Thanks again.    Michael  

Here is your poster, Michael!


Michael's wife, Karen, joined us for the Crown Classic in Cleveland.
Karen is pictured taking possession of the MSU Dance Team poster
for her hubby, Michael.  Michael will be home on leave from Sudan
in January.  He plans to take his new poster back with him.
