"Retired"
Gabby, Halcyon’s Born To Run was added to the pack in 2013 after waiting a very long time to find Grimm a sister. Kimberly Studley of Hanlon Kennels arranged for us to meet with Pat White of Halcyon Kennels and bring Gabby home. This started a wonderful relationship with both Kim and Pat. Gabby was a sassy rascal and took time to mature. She was wild, funny, and on a limited basis, sweet. Just as we had with our two previous Standard Schnauzers we put her in obedience classes. Gabby learned the tasks easily enough but had other ideas about her “free time”. In 2014, we moved to Macon, GA and met Hilde Haakensen, a Miniature Schnauzer breeder/owner/handler/groomer. Not planning on showing Gabby in conformation, Hilde got us to give it a try one weekend and in 3 days Gabby was a champion. A record for her kennel! This started a friendship and mentorship with Hilde teaching me to properly groom my dogs for show. Lure coursing and barn hunt eventually came to our area and Gabby loved both events. Eventually by age 4 she settled down enough to allow us to title in obedience, rally, and trick dog and to try herding and scent work. For Gabby its all about what’s in it for her.
