I started in 1978 with a pet ,as you do. I then bought a bitch & started to show& was hooked.I met up with Gilli Barker & got a dog pup Gold Digger of Balintyne from her 1st litter he ended up with 2 RCC after he won 4 limit classes The entries at that time were big .His first ch sh. was L.K.A. in which he was 3rd out of 43 minor puppy dogs , & carried on from there .I was passed in 2000 to give CC & my first CH SH was S.K.C. on my birthday, what a present? I dont have any Irish now but keep in touch with what goes on .I have 2 Schipperkes that keep me going & I sometimes show the dog who is a K.C.G.C bronze award winner . I now make greetings cards for the soldiers in Afghanistan so they can send them home (free of charge) to their families Well thats about for now ,so by by Pat .
