Show & Working Dogs Since 1978

Mariah Hunter

Mariah Atkinson:

Mariah is one of the "girliest" girls you could ever hope to meet. Mariah was HONYASC High Point Open Junior Handler for 2004, is a member of the cross-country team, the volleyball team, and is a very impressive young vocalist. The most recent addition to her resume is the amazing job she did as Dorothy in the Syrcuse Children's Theater production of "The Wiz".

Our newest "community" handler?
Mariah is on hand at shows just waiting for the opportunity to handle dogs for people who have their hands full.
Here Mariah is handling her black tri "Sizzle", and her brother's "Smudge". She also handled several for other people during this weekend.
