Meet Shelby Miller ~
Shelby and Pippi first entered the ring in July 2004
at the Willamette Valley Basenji Club's specialty
and walked out of the ring with First Place in
Sweepstakes in the 6-9 month old class! The duo
quickly worked their way up in the Juniors ring to the
Open class having won three first place awards
within 3 months in the Novice class.
Shelby trained under the watchful eye of seasoned
handler and Best in Show judge Chuck Murray.
Chuck's no nonsense style earned him quite the
reputation around town! Obviously his techniques
worked for Shelby and her dogs as this Open
Senior Junior Handler is holding her own in the
breed ring too! She finished her very first show dog
(Pippi) in a mere thirteen months of showing and
over the years has shown several other breeds,
won multiple specialty shows with Petra, and even
handled dogs in the ring in New York at
Westminster taking BOB with a mini bull terrier
where she appeared on television in the Terrier
Group!
Learning various tips and tricks from more
experienced handlers has helped Shelby to
become the best handler she can be. Should you
find yourself short a handler on show day, Shelby
would be more than happy to take your dog in the
ring for you. Any ring experience is good ring
experience! Need some help? Let us know!
Breeds Shelby has handled include Basenjis,
Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Irish Wolfhounds,
Portuguese Water Dogs, Mini Bull Terriers and
Italian Greyhounds.
Shelby will age out of Junior Showmanship
competition this fall, and hopes to handle dogs
professionally for others in the future.
