Thanks to Ali Cowan, another amazing young handler, who also began in Juniors, for convincing me that Lian was a really great person and handler.  Lian would be working with Ali during her stay in Texas and was needing a working dog for Junior’s competition on the Texas Circuit of dog shows.   She is an amazing young lady and everything you said she was.  She so much reminds me of you when you were her age!   You both amaze me!  Thank you Ali!!

For the month of July, it began in Dallas (3 shows), to San Antonio (4 shows) and on to Houston for the Houston World Series of Dog Shows (4 shows).   With very limited training together, Lian and Miina won a Best Junior in Dallas and in Houston won a Reserve Best Junior over 51 Juniors.  In 11 shows Lian took her Masters Class several times and placed no lower than 3rd in each of her competitions.  We are SO proud of Lian and Miina.  

 

 

Lian agreed to take Miina into the breed ring as a special for 4 of the shows four (4) of the shows in tough competition and took (2) Best of Opposite and a Select Bitch.  Did I say I was so proud of them both?  What a lovely team they made!!!

 

 

Although being at the show sight by 7:00am each morning was challenging, it was so rewarding to watch Lian and Miina in the ring.  Watching them work together taught me so much.  Miina and I gained a new friend and we learned to love this talented, amazing young lady.  Thank You for everything Lian Chase and we wish you the best for your future.  Hugs and kisses and until we meet again.  

 

 

 

P.S. We will be watching for your ranking in the Canine Chronicle for the Junior Statistic in the Working Group!!  You remain #1 on our list!
