JANUARY A MATCH

Our 2nd A match was held January 4, 2014 at the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers show.  Best in Match was Gabriela and Best of Opposite was Cody!  Way to go!  


We sent in our paperwork and it was accepted by the AKC and we are now awaiting word if our club can hold AKC conformation shows.  We will probably know something in mid-April.
