We had to take a respite from showing dogs during May, June, July and August in order to prepare and sell our old home in Illinois, find and move into our new home in Indiana! Brad was promoted to a new job within his existing company (Pioneer Hi-Bred, Intl.) in Worthington, Indiana. We completed our move to our new home in Spencer, Indiana (approximately 15 miles from Bloomington, IN - home of Indiana University) the first week of July. We have been busy settling in and unpacking, but have plans to return to the show ring in September!

"Reggie" attends the Westminster Kennel Club dog show at Madison Square Garden in New York City! He was a great ambassador for the breed to all those that stopped to meet and greet him at the show, hotel and on the sidewalks of New York! Unfortunately, a tail injury (we believe he hit his ever wagging tail in the hotel elevator the night before) on the day that Dals showed prevented him from performing his best in the show ring, but it was an amazing experience! A special Thank You to Reggie's co-owners for enabling us to attend! Below are some of our pictures from our trip - ENJOY!

The final counts are in and..."Reggie" finished the 2006 show season at #9 in the country (Breed) and #13 (All-Breed)! Reggie was shown sparingly from January through August and then was campaigned from late August through early December. We are thrilled with the results that he attained in such a short period of time being shown. GOOD BOY BROWN DOG!
