Shenandoah Valley KC

I know you have missed us!  We took a short break during February to tend to some family business but we are back at it now and will be going strong until who knows when! lol

We would like to take a moment to reflect on some events that occurred during February.  My grandma Cheyenne Shaffer lost her courageous battle with cancer of February 7, 2015 with momma Leslie and Grandpa Bill by her side.  While it's not been easy on any of the family it has been just as hard on us.  We love her very much and miss her daily but know we will all see her again one day.

August 16, 1955- February 7, 2015 Gone too Soon

Leslie and the gang headed out to Harrisonburg, Va for a fun filled weekend of shows with some great dogs and friends!

Sadly the major broke in goldens so Moxie couldn't be shown.
