My heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends. I so enjoyed trialing with, and judging Dawn in my obedience ring. She was always so kind, considerate and encouraging of stressed handlers, and she took so much pleasure in her dogs, pass or fail, whatever they did. A true champion of the sport!
My heartfelt condolences đ˘ . The first time I met Dawn was at Paws n Train Dawn came in the building with her squadron of Scottieâs it was quite a sight to beholdâ¤ď¸.
She was kind and a true champion for our sport !
Deepest sympathies
