           when I was 4 years old. We had shown Mabel          harder to show and you would have to kneel on
           at our local open shows and had started to take     the sandy floors. I remember being so proud

           I had ahead of me within the show world. We         old I had participated in so many open and

           it was always done and I am forever grateful.
           One of the many things I am so grateful for are
           the companions and the amazing memories
           they had gifted me, one being my first bitch I
           really started my show career off with ‘Mylove’
           (Eynesbrooke Floosie at Lindamole an
           English Bulldog). Anyone who knows me knows
           me for always being very short but when I was
           5 years old if Mylove stood on her hind legs she
           would’ve been taller than me. I started training
           at the Pedigree training camp where I met many
           of my show friends. I also had the pleasure of
           being train by Mrs Hurley and Jaxon Manser.
           Here I gained my bronze and silver awards and
           was ready to hit the show world when I turned
           six.
