DPCA Top 20 1999, 2000, and 2001

Each and every win was special. Each and every BIS was special. Each was celebrated, and so unexpected. We received many cards and e-mails of congratulation from so many friends. Each was cherished. This all was such a fun and exciting time. Thanks to all of Country’s friends, co-breeder Mary Hawkins and handler Dawn Honaker and those stars in heaven who shine so brightly for us.
