I want to dedicate this heart felt section of my web page to some very special people in my life.  

Virginia (Ginny) Rice for believing in me, and contributing unselfishly.  She brought me much happiness and always cheered me up when I lost, in an AKC conformation show.  The miniature schnauzer never had a better friend than Ginny.  She has truly blessed my life, and will always have a special place in my heart.  Ginny is truly missed by everyone.  

Kurt Garmaker for always being so tough and level headed in our endeavors.  He kept me focused on the task at hand, and was always there to help.  Kurt is truly the best in grooming, and showing the miniature schnauzer breed.  We all look  to him for guidance

Gloria Lewis for always being a friend.  She has a straight forward no non-sense approach that I admire.   She is a judge for AKC Conformation shows, but I have never shown any dogs for her to judge.  I met her through her showing of the miniature schnauzer breed.  She has taught me many things, like how I should walk my dog in the ring and has helped me build my confidence in the fact that I can show my dogs, in a way that will highlight all of their positive points.  Her down to earth approach to life has taught me how to deal with many issues that I have come up against.

Bev Verna for looking at my puppies with her keen sense of judgment on which ones will make the best show dogs. The ear croppings on my miniature schnauzer's ears that was arranged by Bev are wonderful.  Last but not least, I want to thank her for just being there for moral support, whenever I needed it.

Marie Pletsch for always sharing her bright outlook on life.  She has helped me with many grooming issues, and has gone out of her way for me more times than I probably deserve.  I appreciate all her patience and friendship throughout the years I have known her.

Jerry Simpson Jr. for never giving up on me, and always willing to go beyond the call of duty.  He grooms our dogs to perfection in my eyes, but he continually strives to do better so I can do better.  He keeps me grounded and always finds the silver lining in every situation.  I couldn't have done it without him, and I am extremely grateful.

To all those listed and for those whom, for the sake of space, I have not listed THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
