Today we mourn the loss of HRCH Trooper’s Carolina Sunrise.

“Yella” was one of the first dogs I put a finished title on. At this point in my career a lot of the “firsts” are now crossing the rainbow bridge. Just shy of her 10th birthday, Yella (Mackie littermate) made that journey surrounded by her family.

Kristin and I extended our condolences to the Alexander family!

“Booker” is owned by Wendy Bonello of Cresthill Kennels.

A big thank you to Cresthill Kennels for trusting us to care and train Booker. A big thank you to the club members, judges, and bird techs for making this test possible. A big thank you goes to Jake and Gage for all their work around the kennel to help make these dogs the best they can be.
