By then Link had his first Conformation Siberian, Jasper, who earned his CDX and was a Top 25 ranked Conformation Siberian for 8 years, including an Award of Merit at the Siberian Husky Club of America (SHCA) National Specialty and First Award of Merit at Westminster. Jasper was also Link’s first Agility dog, earning his OA and OAJ. His first three Siberians all earned Canadian CDs and Jasper earned his Canadian Championship in one weekend.

I started in obedience in 1976 with an Irish Setter, earning  a Utility title on him.  After watching the English, Gordon and Irish Setters in the show ring, we purchased a Gordon Setter and I began Conformation showing.  Over the many years, I've shown my own Setters, mostly from the Bred By class obtaining multiple BOBs, Specialty BOBs and Group placements. Also winning multiple Owner handler RBIS and BIS.   Winning BOB at  the Irish Setter Club of America National Specialty in 2017 was definitely the highlight of my show career.  My wife, Deb and I do our own grooming and conditioning. I have shown other Sporting breeds as well as dogs from the Hound, Herding and Terrier Groups.  I enjoy paying forward what I have learned over the years to help others be successful.
