GDAB Great Danes & Ibizan Hounds

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 RA NA NAJ NF ACT2 SCN SHDN 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, GDAB You've Got Everything Now, won a 5 point major at 6 months of age from the Bred By Exhibitor class! He won his second 5 point major at the next large entry where he was entered a few months later.  We're waiting for him to mature a bit more before finishing.

Willys, BISS CH GDAB Black Bear Road AOM, is the first uncropped black Great Dane to win an AKC Best in Specialty Show!  He is also the 1st to win a group placement at an AKC show, and the 11th to earn a champion title. He needs 2 points to become a grand champion.  

Mabel, Ch. HareHill's No More Drama at GDAB finished 2016 in the Top 20, All Breed Points, after being shown only 4 weekends!  She is now retired from conformation.

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, 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, Mississippi, 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!)
