By R. Lynn Shell  Jun, 21, 2016   Posted in dogshow
Finally time to dip my toes back into the AKC pool with a brief trip to Texarkana with a couple of Borzoi, Rusti and Barbee.

We met up at the show site a little after 8 in the evening, trying to find the ever-so-rare space for grooming. Rebecca had...

There used to be lure coursing trials held in conjunction with the shows, which made for some long days – but those times are now gone. I fondly remember when we had Solo out as a special and he went from winning...
