This boy has heart, structure, presence and the sweetest off-switch. Watching him step into the ring and earn this title has been such a proud moment for us. From training, conditioning, traveling to Phoenix, and putting in the work every single day… it paid off.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, believed in our program, and cheered Marlin on. We are so happy and proud to be part of the dog show world and to continue building something intentional and special.

This is just the beginning 💙🐾

Fast Cat pictures came in 😍

We love doing sports with our dogs!

This is just the beginning! Dog showing has always been intimidating to step into. What we didn’t expect were the genuine friendships we’d build along the way. This journey has become about so much more than ribbons and wins. Feeling incredibly grateful for EVERYBODY that has helped us thus far. Thank you, God 🙏🏼💙
