Look at that boy move :) Took him just 3 Months to Champion
in only 6½ shows... Everyone knows how hard it is to show a Pied.
We could not ask for more from this beautiful, bully, Half-Hooded, scrumptious
pied who had no ring experience at all and had only had a lead on a handful
of times before his ring debut. To say the least we are very proud and
thank his breeder for a lovely male and his Handlers for a great Job!!!
The Line Up
Gizmo at his First Weekend Show with his handler
The Line Up - Gizmo 2nd in line
8 dogs in his class this day... he got a 3rd. Not bad
for his first show, no ring experience and literally learned how to walk
on a lead at 2 years old, "properly" just a couple weeks before his first
show.... he always hated the lead as a pup, but thanks to my persistance
and great care from his handlers he's doing quite well. In these
week long specialties he has Won the 1ST PLACE OPEN CLASS several
times out of 8-10 dog classes and went RESERVE BEST OF WINNERS a
few times. It's a start! He's having fun, which is what counts, if he wasn't
we wouldn't be showing him, no matter how "show quality" a dog is, if they
are not enjoying it, to us there's no point. We're rooting for you "GIMO
GIMO"!
Gizmo 2nd in line
Great Job by Mr Carr - THANKS :)

rarely Succeed Unless You Have Fun Doing It....
Our Showing Experience:
We started showing dogs 14 years
ago & a few years ago started focusing our interest in the AKC shows
with our wonderful little Frenchies, which is a whole different world.
We have show quality Frenchies and like to attend shows from time to time.
We do prefer to hire a handler, less hassle, less time away from home from
the other kids, it just works better for us. At times we'll send one on
the road with the Handlers, but our dogs are our pets first and foremost
and as you can see by the multitude of pictures on our website, they live
very fun "dog" lives. We are the proud owners of one beautiful pied Stud
Champion and have our cream boy, Gizmo, on the road now.... it's his turn
to shine and soon our boy Tyson and a couple of the girls will make their
ring debut... little by little, we're in no rush. Not every correct dog
is a Champion.... not every correct dog gets shown. Our priority is HEALTHY
and HAPPY Frog Dogs. There are great dogs out there who meet the standard
and don't get shown for many reasons. Showing is not for everyone, it's
not for every dog!!! For us, it's about Fun, if OUR dog is not having fun,
we don't believe they should be in the ring!
We acknowledge and very much appreciate the hard work of those who are out there traveling state to state showing their dogs and dedicate their lives to this. It's not as easy as some may think. Those who show, know that Dog shows can be very political. They know it's not always the "Best Dog" that wins. We do not want to get involved with all the politics that can and do go on in the dog show world, been there, done that. It can be a very crucial sport. "FOR US" showing Frenchies is something we'd like to keep as a HOBBY, not a priority.... we leave that task to the professional Handlers and to other serious show fanciers :)
Our dogs health and happiness & having them in a loving home with us is the priority for us. Our Frenchies enjoy life, they are loved, spoiled and live VERY good dog lives which is what's important to us. They are happy dogs! This does not mean we do not own or want Show Quality or correct dogs, cause by all means we do, it just means being a "Show Dog" is not the "PRIORITY" on the list of what we want for "OUR" dogs. IN OUR EYES THEY ARE ALL STARS, CHAMPIONS OR NOT, HENCE OUR NAME lol!!!
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE BREEDERS
OF THE PAST AND PRESENT WHO CREATED OUR DOGS. WITHOUT YOU WE WOULD NEVER
HAVE THE PLEASURE OF OWNING THE FUNNIEST, CUTEST, DOGS ON THE PLANET! AND
A BIG THANK YOU TO PROFESSIONAL AKC HANDLERS BETH AND MARK CARR FOR HANDLING
OUR KIDS!!!
