Few people get the chance to experience a once in a lifetime dog. We have been blessed with the opportunity to be owned and loved by such a dog. He is a true character, and my very best friend. We didn't even intend on showing him to begin with. He was a 2-time Best In Sweeps winner as a puppy, and finished before he was two years old. The idea of specialing him came by accident also.

Well, with a super start last spring, a battle with Lymes disease last summer and a fantastic comeback in the fall, we finished #11 for the year with 7 months of shows.

There are no words to express our heartfelt thanks to his breeders and to his "Grandbreeders", Peg & Dick Nelson, for starting us off. A very special thanks to two very special friends. Barbara Waldkirch, Bam's handler and Darthy Davis, Bam's travel Mom. None of this would have been possible without you both. To all our friends and competitors, it's been a year to remember. Thank you all!!
