A very special thank you to the Rising Star family, extended family & friends who supported us at the show!!
This years national was very special to us as there were 6 of Hugo's offspring exhibited! Each one placed in their class and we could not be more proud. The highlight of course was Bruiser winning Best Male and Best of Opposite at just 12 months of age! Shrek, Hugo and Zizi also showed in their classes. It was a fun weekend complete with another memorable costume contest and rally experience. Thanks to all the friends and family who helped us this weekend...it was a great time!
