For me, dog showing is not just a sport or a hobby. It’s a passion. It’s something I love doing, even with all the intrigues that come with it.


After spending seven years in the show beagle world, I still consider myself a newbie, with so much more to learn. A lot of people have played an important role in making dog showing enjoyable and memorable for me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.


Before anything else though, I would like to thank the Lord Almighty for his undying love. I dedicate this website to Him.

 

 

I know you are not dog lovers, but your support has been unwavering. You’ve even grown to like dogs and tried to understand why I do what I do. Thank you so much! I love you all!





Leah Bertagnolli of Windkist Beagles (USA)

You started it all for me. I still remember Striker's first show. He had such an amazing ring presence.

I can't believe he's been retired for a few years now. During our 1st Beagle Nationals in 2006, Striker came out of retirement to once again prove to he is still the top beagle by winning BISS.

I promised you that Striker won't be used as a stud machine, and I've kept my promise. Since he has arrived, I've only allowed him to be used outside of my kennel only twice. I hope you are proud of what Striker has accomplished.

Striker is the proud sire of the country’s top dog all-breeds in 2006, Bumper! Without you and Striker, there would be no Bumper! I will forever be grateful!

Your tutelage and guidance have meant so much. Thank you for the knowledge you generously impart and the friendship you genuinely share. Lastly, I just want to remind you that it's time to thaw the ice... LOL! I'm still patiently waiting for the next dog you're sending me. ;) Thank you so much Leah!!!

I can’t thank you enough for your trust. Mikey has given me nothing but happiness, both in and out of the ring. He has achieved so much more than I could have imagined. I just hope we have made you proud.

 

2. Aris and Ruby Coching of Southwoods Siberians (Philippines)

Our friendship extends beyond dog showing, albeit that is where it started. Everything we’ve been through only strengthens our friendship even more. Thank you for everything my friends.

 

3. Aaron Go of Desert Storm Beagles (Philippines)

You are still very young. Just relax. Things will fall into place for you slowly but surely. Your sister and I will always love you and be there for you in all your show endeavors. Just make sure you find the right balance between your studies and dog showing.

 

4. Dr. Jonathan Ng of Budveron Beagles (Malaysia)

Hey doc, it’s always nice to exchange beagle info with someone as enthusiastic as I am about the breed. Thank you for your trust with Nefer and Naomi. I’m still waiting for you and Felicia to drop by the Philippines.

5. Joel Nilo of Dyowel Designs (Philippines)

Thanks for creating this site for me. I owe you a bunch! You’re the master! LOL! Everyone out there who would like to have their own site, Joel’s one great and talented guy and is very easy to talk to, so don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll put you in touch with him.


6. Gerry Narabal – professional trainer and show handler (Philippines)

From our modest dream of winning the country's top beagle ranking, we've now reached our ultimate goal, winning the dog of the year award!

I still remember the first time you handled Striker. You were so nervous, that after winning the breed competition, the judge told you to take a walk outside the ring and calm your nerves. You still managed to win group 1 that day.

It's been seven wonderful years my friend. Despite achieving so much success, seven consecutive years of attaining the top hound and beagle awards, two top dog awards in 2006 and 2008, you've managed to stay humble and grounded, while remaining open for improvement.

With your continued perseverance and dedication, I'm sure you still have a long and successful career ahead of you.

I can't thank you enough for taking Olympic Gold Beagles to great heights!
