Hi my name is Natalie and I started dog shows when I was about nine. I had great mentors when I started Katie Kupfer, Sarah and Kim Patterson, and my aunt Stephanie. My first dog that I showed in juniors was Melanie. A big thank you goes to Sarah and Kim Patterson for letting me use Melanie in the junior ring and now own her. I show Melanie and occasionally some other dogs in AKC, and ASCA. I enjoy doing dog shows because you make new friends, and you get to try new things.
