She used to show dogs, and and then, she stopped showing them herself and hired a handler. That was why I bought a puppy from her. I had seen Kias sire in the ring and liked what I saw. When I got Kia almost 9 years ago, she said she was just on the breeding end of things cause that's what she was good at.
She has 55 champions to her kennel name now...so, it makes me wonder if she has two separate types of breeding she is doing...some good lines that produce champions, and then some others......to make money.
I'm very disappointed to learn thats the way she's doing things now.
