CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE DOG IN THE SHOW RING, OUR WESTIE "CHARLY".  CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES ON CHARLY'S SHOW CAREER!  All these "winners" were bred here at Strawberry River OR were/are owned by Strawberry River!  (everyone keep those updates coming!)  Except for the first caption, all other captions are across from their pictures!  WE NO LONGER RAISE OR SHOW PAPILLONS.

My handler is Megan Johnston Bennett of Little Rock.  She shows several different breeds.  If you have a dog you want trained and shown, contact her at MegMj@hotmail.com

"Well here's the email u have been waiting for...our Magnum is now a Canadian Champion. Thank you Tracey for such a delightful boy!!!!!  We constantly get ringside comments on him, both his looks and his fun loving attitude. He truly is a joy both in the ring and as our #1 "kid".  

Although we've raised many international champions and a Canadian champion, Travis is the first AKC champion we've raised.  But we expect many more!

"She got all those ribbons in one weekend at a Teacup Agility Trial, we entered 9 events, 4 agility and 5 games (this was the first time I'd ever seen games) she got 7 qualifying scores: 4 firsts, 3 seconds, 2 thirds, which includes a title in agility and a title in games, somehow they compile the points and she wound up getting "highest scoring bitch" in trial.  The last show we went to we entered 4 events in UKC agility, she got 3 firsts and 1 second and got her title in AG1,  the only other thing she's shown in was last summer where we went to her first show (Rally) in Okla City and I thought she's such a maniac that I wouldn't be able to get her attention at all but wanted her to have the experience at a dog show. We entered 4 rally trial and she got 4 qualifying scores (who woulda thunk!) and we got her AKC rally novice title that weekend.  She is the smartest dog I've ever had, she loves to work at whatever you want to do, she is a ball playing maniac so that keeps her really fit and she is super fast.  What can I say? She's brilliant!  Good Job Tracey!  Our next event is coming up at McKinney, TX where we are going to be showing in AKC agility in mid March.  D Hendrix, Tulsa"

Cul-ligan was imported from Spain and finished here in the US by Sharon Hazelbaker.  THANKS SHARON FOR YOUR AWESOME DOGS!

Luna has already won her international puppy championship, and even got a group first at her first weekend of shows!  Her owner Pam Sorrows says she is going to be taken back to the international shows as soon as she's 18 months old so she can get her adult title, and she has started showing in AKC! 

Hi Tracey, It's been just over a year since I've updated you with pictures of Cody, my little 3.8 year old agility star.  The last time i wrote, we had just completed our first NADAC agility competition.  So much has happened since then... we just completed our 16th competition a few weeks ago, with Cody earning his 18th Title!  I couldn't be more proud of him.  You'll  sometimes see Westies competing in AKC and Tea-cup Agility but it's not often that you see them competing in the NADAC venue, where speed and distance is the name of the game.  Cody remains enthusiastic and continues to perform very well.  I foresee a very long agility career ahead of us.  When we're not competing, we just enjoy life together... Cody's the best friend a gal could have!  Take care,  Paulette & Cody
