   2012 brought a very exciting Black Hills Stock Show
experience for us!
BHSS 2012
Emma, Hope and I at the 2012 Black Hills Stock Show where Hope was Reserve Champion.

Reece, Hope and Cort (his first trip to the BHSS) all three
qualified for the semi-final round. 

Hope placed 1st in the semi-final round and Reece followed closely at 3rd.
Hope also won the fastest chute time for the round.

In the Final, Hope captured Reserve Champion and
Reece was not far behind at 4th. 

It was a great time with all three dogs,
and I could not have been more proud of the effort they all gave!

Our hearts and prayers go out to Laura Hicks
on the loss of her incredible Jag.


We adored him and will miss him greatly,
though we are so thankful he will live on
through his many talented offspring- a few
we feel lucky enough to enjoy here.

It is with a heavy heart that I share
the passing of Dooglyn Blue.

He was an amazing, goofy, talented, very accomplished dog
who was with us for far too short a time.

Godspeed Blue.  You were one of a kind. ♥
