I have handled many different breeds of dogs over the years . Here you will find photos of some of the dogs that I have shown and/or am currently showing.
This is Everybody Loves Raymond as a young dog. I showed him for the regional Specialty in Hamlin, NY in 2005. He is owned by Kathy O'Brien of Warsaw, NY.
He won Best of Sweepstakes under Judge Leslie Potts on one day and he was Best Puppy in Breed the next under Judge Gerta Kennedy (That is not Dr. Kennedy in the photo, she was taken to the hospital after she judged and was not available when we went for the photograph.)
Ray was a fun dog to show and I really liked showing an Afghan, they are so elegant and their movement is so fluid.
This is "Pepper," La Brise Renardette. She has the prettiest head and an excellent example of the breed!
Pyrenean Shepherds or Berger de Pyrenees
"Pyr Sheps"
On January 1, 2009 Pyrenean Shepherds have gained full recognition by the AKC and are members of the Herding Group!
This is "Blue," Ch. Chippewa Bleu De La Brise. He is a great dog and an excellent mover!! I have only lost once with this dog!!

I have recently started to handle Great Pyrenees for Val Davis as well as her Pyr Sheps. I really enjoy showing the Pyrs and it keeps me in front of the Working Judges ;) !
This is "Dotty," Ch. Thimble Farm Maid of the Mist.

Here is Gabriella (Ch.Nautika Thimble Farm Gabriella) the day she won Winners Bitch under Judge Roland Pelland at the Leatherstocking Cluster, Nov. 2007, Syracuse, NY. It was a very nice win, too bad the photo isn't as nice!
This is Brillwood's Diamonds R Forever, "Bond, James Bond" at just 6 months old. This was his first dog show weekend and it was a good one, too!! He went Reserve Winners Dog on Thursday; Winners Dog and Best of Winners on Friday; Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex on Saturday and Reserve Winners Dog on Sunday!! Can you imagine what he will do as he matures out?!? I think he could be a Group Placing/Winning Dog easily. Bond is owned by Ross Madden.
This is "Luna," Ch.Thimble Farm Dieudonne Eclipse at her first dog show winning Best of Winners/Best of Opposite out of the 6-9 month class!! What a pretty girl!!
Bond at the Wyoming Valley KC show, May 17,2008. He went Best of Breed that day from the 12-18 month old class!!
He is a true Terrier. The cold temps and the rain may have affected some of the dogs at that show, but Bond loved it!
