AKC Report

Your webmaster owes those of you who have taken the time to send your wins and brags a huge apology! There was an error with several of the links where your email was sent to webmaster instead of postmaster. The hosting site  was only set up to receive mail to the postmaster. I now have it fixed and can receive mail from either one. I am very sorry, for any inconvenience. Please, resend all those wins and brags!!!

Terry and Richard Treat are excited to share the news of their new arrival. On Monday, July 15, 2009 their sweet baby boy was born. They are enjoying him immensely. Congratulations!
