Sometimes the dog and handler just bring out the best in each other. So it is with Stevie and her partner in winning, Julie Hamasaki. Once they teamed up, they wasted little time setting the ring on fire. Their joy and team work is obvious to all who have had the opportunity to watch them. With limited showing and taking several months off, Julie and Stevie collected enough points to be ranked #2 German Shepherd Dog for 2006. They were also the only German Shepherd team to win back-to-back Bests in Show, and a total of 5 Bests in Show and 14 Group wins. After recovering from an injury in 2007, Stevie is back in the ring, won  her 100th Best of Breed and

6th and 7th BEST IN SHOW.

and she continues adding to her record.
