I consider 'Button' to be my first REAL show dog.
        I'd had a couple of others, but none that were
                    very competitive. 'Button' stormed into my life and I will always be grateful
 to Sherrie and Cam Sparling
    for taking a chance

           

        

                          

                                      Her very first show was at the tender
                                age of 7 months, at the Tallahassee Specialties
                        She went Runner up to best in Sweeps,
                               then 4th in a large 6-9 class. I then sent
                            her back to her breeders (Sherrie and Cam Sparling)    
                in Canada at 10 months of age. She won
                            2 points towards her championship and about 9 reserves
                ;-) I decided to bring her back home

                            

                            Button started having some medical problems
                in 2002, serious enough that I pulled her from
                my breeding program and stopped showing her
                she does SO love to show though that
                    once she is old enough to show in Veteran's classes
                I will bring her out of retirement only at local shows
                For now, she is my:
                    couch warmer,
                    bed buddy,
                ankle biter extraordinaire!

                     

               Visit Button's housemates!
