Show time for Maine Aim Ranch Dogs with the ARBA

Hello everyone hope you are having a great summer.  Many would agree 2020 has proven to be interesting, but around here not for the reasons one would think.  As most of you know we at Maine Aim Ranch Dogs take great pride in producing the top of the line dogs.  Well, we feel we have really excelled at this, this summer.

First of all, we started registering our Pomskies now Arctic Spitz with the American Rare breeds asso. and they offer a place to be able to show our Pomskies/Arctic Spitz.  With the spring and all of it's challenges the ARBA had to be creative with coming up with ways to still exhibit the ARBA registered dogs.  Virtual shows was the answer.  So on one nice sunny day in March Chuck, Madison, Drew and I washed and groomed up 14 of our pomskies and pictured them and shot videos to be able to compete in the virtual shows.  Little did we know that our dogs were going to rock the show!  Miss Maine Aim Becky and Miss Maine Aim Lacy really did amazing winning Best of Show.  I will post the results down below and the pictures as you can see many of our pack have already earned Championship titles.  I believe this newly developed breed Pomskies that is trying to take first steps in being recognized as The Arctic Spitz really turned some heads!  We are truly blessed to be apart of developing this amazing breed from the early stages.
