Sparkle's puppy career started off with a Puppy Hound Group 1st over a huge group of nice puppies in Virginia Beach,
and 2 weeks later she went Best Puppy in Match at Jacksonville NC.
Her first points were from the 6-9 puppy class under breeder judge Sandy Schwartz, and her first major was 2 weeks later under Michael Sosne. We finished her championship at three years, one month of age, with a 3 pt. major under breeder judge Glorvina Schwartz at the Soaring Gull circuit following the '97 Afghan Nationals in Virginia Beach, Va. Sparkle was finished totally owner handled!
