M Nicole Casavechia for handling and taking such good care of our dogs when we can't be there!
Unfortunately with Covid 19 in 2020 our plans for the show ring were sidelined. Toward the end of the year as
things started to open up and a few dog shows took place, we evaluated what was important to us.
We made the decision to postpone any showing until 2021 when hopefully things will be better under control, there
will be less restrictions travelling and the vaccine will help prevent the spread of Covid.
Hope everyone stayed safe and healthy!
Well lots has happened since Covid...
Finally got out to the South Shore Kennel Club Dog Show in June... Geno had not seen the show ring since he was a
puppy at the Atlantic Labrador Retriever Club Regional Specialty in October of 2023.
He finally started to remember and gather his stride to capture Best of Winners on Sunday.
Thank you to Chad Doucette who helped show our wonderful boy when Scott was unable.
