DDBS NATIONALS 2006
The 9th Annual DDBS National Specialty weekend was held
in Charlotte, NC on April 8th and 9th.
Due to circumstances beyond our control we were able to make the trip at the last minute though unable to enter anyone ourselves, but we did go to support our families! We had a fantastic time, it was a GREAT show and it was so wonderful to see our puppies and their families again, as well as many other friends!
Our sincere Congratulations to all who won and placed!

Gus and his wonderful family attended the show!
Though he didn't place in the 9-12 month class, we are
so very proud of him and his family!
Gus received a wonderful written critique from FCI Judge Bas Bosch of the Netherlands and handled himself very professionally for his first show, we couldn't be happier!
Thank you Steve and Ellen for coming to the show, it was
so great to see you all again! Gus is a beautiful boy
and it's obvious he loves you very much!
