In November of 1987,  I went to my first dog show with a beagle named Buster that was mostly of field origin. This was the Terry-All Kennel Club in Denver, CO.    Buster won that day and started a journey with this breed that has now spanned over 20 years.     From about 1990 (when my first litter was born) until 1996, I bred under the prefix “Pennock’s” and produced several lovely litters.  I then took a brief hiatus from showing and breeding from 1998 until 2001.  My first venture back into the dog show world was when I judged sweepstakes at the RMBC inaugural show in Greeley, CO August 2001.    I re-entered the show ring that same summer, showing a daughter of Charlie (BIS Ch. Pennock’s Tymes A Wastin) for a friend.   I realized instantly how much I had truly missed showing, and spent the next couple of years showing dogs here and there for others and attending dog shows.  In December 2003, Jester was born to this same daughter of Charlie and in February of 2004 he joined our family. My husband Barry has now discovered the joys of beagles, first with   Chrissy and Jester and now with Dancer and Lauren

While Barry prefers the sidelines and the title of “official photographer” at most shows, he has truly come to love the breed and enjoys watching “the kids” show and perform at events.    In December 2009, I obtained my permanent judging status for beagles and I have truly enjoyed my first assignments.  I look forward to applying for additional breeds in the future.  In 2007 Barry and I adopted the Alpenglow prefix. Alpenglow is a beautiful optical phenomenon that looks like a red glowing band.  It can be observed at sunset in mountainous areas.    We found this fitting for our dogs and us who live in the Boulder, CO foothills.  Thank you for visiting our site.  Enjoy!
