I would like to THANK all of my mentors, members of my kennel clubs, friends and family for believing in me and trusting me, for being patient with me and for understanding my passion.  For all of their help and education and countless questions they had to endure from me.  Thank you for  always guiding me in the right direction with books, webinars, websites, show direction, breeders and SO much more!  Most of all I want to THANK my husband, Gregg Dierksen, MY BIGGEST supporter, my spur of the moment lap nanny, my loudest cheerleader, my driver to the Springs for vet appointments, my hand holder when times became uncertain, my angel that ALWAYS tells me "I am so proud of you!"  Thank you MY LOVE.
