Hurricane Deck

Well, it hasn't been much fun the last week at the Hurricane Deck Household! We've been playing the doggie shuffle since both of my girls are in heat.

I am VERY proud of my boy - not only is he an amazing hunter, but his temperament is just to die for, and he's a beautiful representation of the breed! This year we are only hitting mostly local shows, and of course we are going to hit Premier in Kalamazoo in June. I haven't been to a show since December, and I am ready to hit the sh
