My niece Sydney has just started her junior handling career in 2009.  Sarah Patterson and Katie
Kupfer have been teaching Sydney the ropes helping her get started.  Special thanks to them both for
working with Sydney and allowing Melanie to be her best pal in the ring.

Sydney participated in the winter UMASCA show in January and the West Allis and Green Bay
AKC shows.  Sydney went undefeated with competition in West Allis and moved from Novice to
Open Juniors.
Sydney and Melanie in Green Bay at their first AKC class win under Judge Dana Cline in February
2009.  Thank you Sarah and Katie for all your help and teachings for Sydney.

Sydney and Melanie at their first show together under Judge Marlyn Rue in January 2009.  Thank you
Sarah for letting Melanie partner with Sydney!!
Sydney is going to ASCA Nationals this year in Greeley CO to compete in the first three
pre-shows!!!  We are sooo excited Sydney's dad is bringing her out to join Katie, Sarah,
Ashley and our whole gang to see the show and compete in JR's.  We'll have tons of fun
cheering Katie, Sarah and Ashley in events like herding, agility, obedience and breed.  What
a week it is going to be..... Sydney is studying the breed standard to get ready.
