Hi, I am Kelsie Holden and as you can see by my pictures, I have always loved dogs. I was nine years old when I first went in the show ring and have been showing ever since. I have just moved up to the Open Senior class in AKC Junior Showmanship. Dog showing is a very challenging and fun sport. Through it, I have learned to be a more responsible, dedicated person. Along the way, I have made some dear friends, met some wonderful people, and enjoyed every moment on the road with my grandma. She started me on this life-long adventure and for that, I will always be grateful. My love and respect has grown even more for all breeds of dogs, but there will always be a special place in my heart for the collie!

Sincerely,
Kelsie Holden
