DDBSA Nationals is almost upon us.  Unfortunately we will not be able to make the long trip to Portland, OR to exhibit this year and will be enthusiastically rooting for our “Granddaughter” Seraphs Maggie Thatcher from home.

We will also be waiting to hear if we were honored with awards; still pinching ourselves after 2014 Nationals.

Last year we were honored with an amazing 4 awards from the DDBSA and a 5th award, Junior Handler of the Year, to our GCH Heartstrings Kronos and his “mama” 12-yr. old McKenzie.  Last years awards were:

the prestigious 2014 Breeder Medallion Award –  Heartstrings Dogue de Bordeaux;

2014 Best Bred By Exhibitor Award –  GCH Heartstrings Claire;

2014 Dam of the Year – Bronze GCH Urszula z Orisku;

2014 Dam of Merit – Urszula z Orisku;

2014 Junior Handler of the Year – McKenzie Cushing on GCH Heartstrings Kronos.

Many, many thanks to the Breed Club and our peers for thinking so highly of our Dogues and program.  We were overwhelmed and speechless.
