At shows, top people in canine husbandry are out competing. You must learn at every show how to get the most from your dogs and breeding program. Innovative shampoos and foods are the first considerations. These "tricks-of-the-trade" are passed on to you. "Tiara" is the kennel name used by Julie Borst, much as a stable name is used in horses.
