What a weekend for Harry! ❤️🐾
As a breeder, there are few things more rewarding than watching the next generation step into the ring and make their own mark. Harry has already given me more than I could have ever hoped for, and weekends like this remind me just how fortunate I am to have had such a remarkable sire.
After this weekend, Harry became the sire of 6 Best in Specialty Show winners from 4 different litters. Even more exciting, no fewer than 3 of those BISS winners were in the ring this past weekend. Seeing that kind of consistency across multiple breeding programs is incredibly rewarding.

Congratulations to Maple's owner, Katherine Huntley, and her breeder, Christine Schmidt, on these wonderful accomplishments.
Harry's own accomplishments—including winning the 2023 GSPCA National Specialty and being recognized as 2025 GSPCA Show Sire of the Year (three-way tie)—are something I'll always treasure. But seeing his sons and daughters consistently excel, and watching his influence continue through the next generation, is even more rewarding.
To every breeder who chose Harry, thank you for believing in him for your lovely girls. Watching these young dogs mature into beautiful, sound, competitive representatives of our breed is the greatest compliment a sire could ever receive.
I'm incredibly proud of every one of them, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. ❤️🐾
