ARIZONA WHITE MOUNTAIN KC

GCH CH Fyrstartr’s Paint It Black

We love those clubs that host shows off the beaten path.  Not only does it give exhibitors an excuse to visit an exotic location, it brings our world to a public that rarely gets to see quality purebred dogs.  One such club, the Arizona White Mountain Kennel Club spent the weekend in Show Low AZ, some 180 miles east northeast of Phoenix.
