Brianna competed in Adelaide at the
Pedigree Australian Junior Handlers Final.
held at the Adelaide Royal Show 9th Sep 2007
There were 8 Junior Finalists
(1 from each State/Territory)
& 8 Senior Finalists
(also one from each state etc)
Brianna was in the Final 6 cut & showed a Border Terrier
in her second round.
Her first dog was a Pointer (English).

Thank you to those lovely people who kindly allowed Brianna to take their dogs in.
Ms H Brown for the Pointer &
Miss B Van Haasteren for the Border Terrier
It is a HUGE thing to ask & Brianna & I are grateful for this oppurunity to handle these Lovely dogs.
Brianna first started handling dogs when she turned 7 years old. She came up to me & said that she wanted to go into a Pedigree Junior Handler heat with a Siberian Husky. I said that maybe a Sibe maybe a bit much for her. She said that she had practiced & felt quite comfortable with the dog. So I relented. next thing I saw her go into the ring with an Alaskan Malamute.
No she didn't get the breeds mixed up, she knew that I wouldn't let her take in a Mal as it was too big.
She could barely see over his back.....lol
She has come along way since that day. She has handled many different breeds of all shapes & sizes. She seems to build a real repour with the dogs that she handles & they seem to respond very well to her. She has won too many In Group & In Show awards to list with many different breeds. She has also Qualified for the Pedigree Junior Handler in Adelaide (2003) winning the Final (For the NT) in 2004, qualified 2005 in the NT & Tasmania (2006) & again represented the NT in 2007.
She is well known for handling her own Weimaraner Ash (see the Memories Page) and now handles Wil (GRAND Ch Goldtreve Wild N Wilful) fantastically. Although Wil lives with me he absolutely adores Brianna. They certainly work as a great team. Brianna has taken Wil to Multi BIS, Multi R/Up In Show, BIG, R/Up In Group & Brianna has taken Wil through every age Class to an In Show win (ie, Baby, Minor, Puppy Junior, Intermediate, Aust Bred & Open)
I am very proud of Brianna as she is a real achiever & has never had a dog that she couldn't handle.
Brianna handled Wil to his GRAND Ch Title in August 2008.
