GDAB Great Danes & Ibizan Hounds

Willys, BISS GCH GDAB Black Bear Road AOM, is the 1st uncropped black Great Dane to win an AKC Best in Specialty Show, the 1st to win a group placement at an AKC show, the 11th to earn an AKC champion title, the 2nd (but 1st male) to earn an AKC grand champion title!

Gavin, now Champion GDAB Everything Zen, was Winners Dog at the 2017 Ibizan Hound Club of the United States National Specialty, under judge Valerie Hamilton.  The next day, Gavin was Winners again for his second 5 point major under judge Daniel W Dowling. Three days after the National win, he was winners dog at the Three Rivers Kennel Club IHCUS Supported Entry show under breeder judge Susan St. John Brown, for his 3rd 5 point major, to become the first GDAB Ibizan Hound champion, the same day he turned 16 months old!

Dita, GDAB Black Burlesque BN RE NA NAJ NF ACT2 SCN SBN SHDN SIN RATO CGCA CGCU TKA, is a performance super star! Her owner Traci has shown so much dedication and a real talent for training our girl to enjoy whatever they attempt! 

Joaquin, Champion GDAB You've Got Everything Now, won a 5 point major at 6 months of age! He won his second 5 point major at the next large entry where he was entered, 4 months later. He was then shown sparingly while he matured, but finished with all points from the Bred by Exhibitor class!

Lego, GDAB Everything is Awesome, was Best Puppy in Show for his first time in the ring at 5 months of age! Lego is major pointed towards his championship, and we hope to get him out to some shows this year to finish his title.

Handling by Crystal Reid

I started showing dogs as an owner handler in September 2001, and have learned so much since then!  In 2003 I showed my first "client dog," a pretty Boston Terrier.  Great Danes are my primary breed, and the ones with which I have the most experience, but now I've added Ibizan Hounds as a secondary. I've also shown the following:  Smooth Fox Terrier, Manchester Terrier (Toy and Standard), Staffordshire Bull Terrier, French Bulldog, Xoloitzquintli, Boston Terrier, Smooth Collie, Brittany, Field Spaniel, Doberman Pinscher, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Neapolitan Mastiff, Siberian Husky, Bull Mastiff, Saluki, Afghan Hound, Borzoi, Basenji, Irish Wolfhound, and Whippet. 

If you would like to talk with me about showing your dog, please contact me via email or facebook.  I most commonly attend shows in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Kansas, but on occasion travel to other states. 

I specialize in raw fed and naturally reared dogs, and since I take on a very limited number of clients at a time, your dog gets very individualized care and attention.

P. S. I like to make it fun for the dogs (and myself!)
