Our First Year
On the weekend of September 9th, 2016 we head our first Indiana Puppy Contest at the 501 Eagle in Indianapolis, IN.
This would be the last contest the 501 would host, and it was bittersweet going into the contest weekend knowing that we
wouldn't be there next year. We made the most of it however, with 7 judges and 5 puppy contestants, we rocked the bar that
weekend with one of the largest contest they'd seen in years!
