SPFL closes in on the 100th Title!

I am very excited to be so close to reaching this amazing milestone – and all in just 40 months!!! I think we will have to have a major celebration!

This includes 58 AKC/UKC titles on dogs we bred and 41 on dogs we brought into our program – but does not include any of the titles from the dogs we owned before becoming SPFL nor any hobby club titles!

SPFL closes in on the 100th Title!

​Having thoroughly enjoyed the years as a 4H leader, when the children had all graduated college and moved out on their own, Michele began to participate in conformation, agility, obedience, rally, trick, canine good citizenship, therapy work, precision coursing, and scent work. Amanda participates when her busy surgical vet assistant schedule allows. Michele, Amanda and the SPFL dogs have earned an amazing 99 titles in just over 3 years – not including Romeo’s 3 Best in Show and 6 Reserve Best in Show awards, Katie’s Reserve Best Puppy in Show or Dior’s Best in Show award (a total of 110 awards and titles) and not including the 6 titles Rhett had before joining SPFL!!! Over the last 20 years, we have enjoyed earning well over 130 titles with our beloved dogs!
