Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show - I’ve sent emails and left voicemails, so I’ll try here as well. I respectfully request consideration for adding a Miscellaneous or Open Show at the 2027 event. What an incredible opportunity this would be to showcase breeds on their journey to full recognition!

For context, this year’s Morris & Essex show has over 85 Miscellaneous entries—a clear sign there’s strong interest and participation. I’d be more than happy to volunteer as Show Chair for the event and assist in securing a sponsoring club to help make this happen.

Let’s bring this forward and give these developing breeds the stage they deserve at Westminster!

We absolutely loved hosting these two adorable Klee Kai! Thanks Barkor's Alaskan Klee Kai for entrusting us with your babies … um, “somehow” Oka learned if you bring a ball and drop it in a humans lap… they’ll probably throw it… a lot. Enjoy! 😂

This weekend, pending AKC confirmation, Oka became the 8th Alaskan Klee Kai while in Miscellaneous to have earned her Certificate of Merit. We are, and always have been, so proud of Oka for giving it her all in everything she does.

Pictured with Oka is our good friends Bellator Kennels / Dog Show Daddy who made this all possible. If it weren’t for them, this post would simply be non existent as would Oka’s new letters 🖤 They traveled all over(as far as Colorado!) with not just Oka, but Jinx as well, getting our girls out there when we weren’t able to.

Our Jinxy, who has been going through a bit of a fear period, is starting to show her new found confidence in the ring from all the consistent positive exposure that Liz and Robb had given to her - which was our collective main goal from the get go. Public thank you to Bellator for keeping our girls safe, happy, loved, and for the work over the past month to get them to where they both are now!
