So proud of this girl. She has had quite a year. Puppies in January, Grand Champion in July and Bronze Champion in November. Not bad for my first show dog. Again have to say thank you to Jim Johnson, he is a great mentor and friend and has helped me so much!! And can't leave out the rest of the gang that I have spent countless hours on weekends at dog shows with. (You all know who you are) And my best supporter, best friend and my so very kind and generous husband, Thomas!!
Thank you all with much gratitude,
​ Laura and Suzee Q!

Alot of brushing is not neccessary when washing a puppy at home prior to 7 motnhs of age. But any time from 8-14months of age whether a shedding or non-shedding breed puppy coat changes. Puppy coat comes out and adult coat grows in. This is when matting begins and puppies are no longer wash and wear. During this period puppys should be professionally groomed on a regular basis (every 2-3 weeks).
