2009 SHOW RESULTS

The 2009 show season has started off with quite a bang! Our Hickory Hills Raspberry Beret is now a champion! She finished in grand style taking a 4pt major under judge John Bemont and finished with a 5pt major under judge Dick Jones. Then first time shown as a Special,at the Jackson, MS Specialties in April, she went Best of Breed under judge Kevin Reynolds and  then under judge Kathy Casteel! Thank you to all the judges! "Berry" is owned by judge Randy Chesnut and co-owned with us. Berry is expertly handled by Jeff Pyle.

At the Memphis specialty show in March, our Hickory hills Shabby Chic(aka Jolene), was awarded Best puppy her first time shown! Our Hickory hill's Kryptonite won the 12-18 class both days and his litter sister, Hickory Hills Elektra  won her 12-18 class as well. All these youngsters are sired by our Ch. Porter House! Look for these youngsters with Jeff Pyle!

We attended the St. Louis specialty May 9 and were very happy that our Hickory Hills Tigra(aka Missy) was awarded the 12-18 class her very first time in the ring! Missy is a litter mate to Kryptonite and Elektra and is owned by Lou and Mindy Ormsby of KY. This was and especially nice class win, since the Ormsby's are new to the sport of showing dogs! We believe Missy is going to have a very exciting show career! We again want to thank Jeff for a great job handling!
