Breeder of the Year 2024

I started my journey with Beagles before I even realized it. While watching the Westminster Dog Show, my family noted how my face lit up when 'Miss P' appeared on screen. Fast forward to when I was 7, we attended the Novi shows, and I began considering Junior dogs for my future. During this time, I met Chanel Lefever of Glade Mill Beagles and instantly fell in love with the breed. In November of the following year, I welcomed my very first Beagle, Summer. I was ecstatic to embark on my beagle breeding program. I worked Summer to achieve her Grand Championship and a Group 2 win under Mrs. Sulie Greendale-Paveza, ranking number 9 in the NOHS (2024). 

With Summer's help, I achieved the rank of Number 2 Beagle Junior Handler and Number 11 Hound (2024), earning my first Best Junior Handler along the way. In August of 2024, we bred Summer to Grant (GCHS Glade Mill Notorious HBI CA TKN FITB), and by November, we were blessed with six beautiful beagle puppies, marking the beginning of my breeding program. During this time, Chanel and Brigette kindly lent me Audrey (GCh. Glade Mill Wait Until Dark, TKC) for Junior handling. With their support, I reached the position of Number 1 Beagle Junior Handler (2025) and Number 6 Hound (2025). From Summer’s litter, we kept the pick boy, Benny (Ch. Zareba's Legends Never Die), and I proudly finished him from the Bred-by class in December 2025. Additionally, Benny won Best of Opposite Sex in Intervariety Sweeps at the 2025 Beagle National.
