Jam will be at Westminster!!!

Jam's fabulous crate poster for the benching area designed by our talented friend, Sara Renee Beaver

Jam will be rockin' the Piers!  This year, the Westminster Kennel Club Show will be holding the breed judging at the Piers in New York City.  Breed winners will travel cross-town to Madison Square Garden for the Groups on Monday and Tuesday evening.  We are beyond excited to be part of this prestigious show and look forward to meeting tons of people and hanging out with some of the top dogs in the country.  Jam will be showing on Tuesday at 12:45 pm.  Live streaming of the judging will be on the Westminster Kennel Club website and you can download the Westminster Dog Show app.

Jam will be handled by one of her favorite people, Steve Lane, owner/breeder of Jam's sire, BISS GCH HiBourne's It's All About Me, BROM.  She will be accompanied by her entourage  some of whom traveled all the way from Kansas for the big event.

Best of luck to all the dogs and handlers showing at Westminster!

Bravo's Setup at the Golden Gate KC Show

The Bravo poster
This weekend is the prestigious Golden Gate Kennel Club show in California.  It is one of the few "benched" shows left in the US.  When a show is "benched", such as the famous Westminster Kennel Club Show, it means that only the entered dogs are allowed in and those entered dogs are assigned a crating space in the benching area.  They must be in the building and present for the bench attendance checks. From the AKC website: Bench Show - A dog show at which the dogs are kept on assigned benches when not being shown in competition, so they can be viewed and discussed by attendees, exhibitors and breeders.
Since the show celebrates each breed and show dog, it is customary for exhibitors to decorate their dog's area and also hand out business cards.  Jay had the great idea to have our talented friend and designer, Sara Renee, design a poster and handouts.  All were a hit at the show!
These are the handouts!
