Thank you to the members of the Central Iowa Kennel Club for honoring me with the AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award! 
One of the things I love most about showing dogs is all of the friends I’ve met. While the CIKC has had its fair share of bumps in the road, we’ve persevered and the club is thriving. I enjoy working with my fellow club members to benefit the sport of purebred dogs.
For anyone looking to start showing dogs, go get involved in a club. You’ll learn so much about showing and met great folks along the way.
CIKC has many dedicated and wonderful members. I’m very flattered to be selected as our first club recipient of this award.
