R2W Mascots Shine at Colorado Kennel Club Show! 🐾🇺🇸

R2W’s own mascots, Yin and Yang—better known as Bilbo and Olive—made an impressive showing at the Colorado Kennel Club Dog Show, held February 13–15, 2026, at the National Western Events Center in Denver.

Now officially “adults” at 12 months, this brother‑sister team stepped into the ring with confidence and delivered outstanding results:

• Olive (Yang) swept Best in Breed all three days
• Bilbo (Yin) earned Best Opposite each day
• Olive went on to compete head‑to‑head with all breeds for the top ribbons

These wins weren’t just personal victories—they were proudly dedicated to our Guard and Reserve families, and to the STEM interns who help drive millions of dollars in donated technologies to bridge the civilian–military divide. 🎖️💻

R2W Founder Rob Brazell shared:\ “This is the largest show Yin and Yang have competed in. Grooming bays stretched endlessly—you should’ve seen the parade of perfectly primped competitors. Thanks to Diedre, our new master Groomer and Handler from The Wag Shop, our pups have never looked or performed better. Her story is inspiring—stay tuned for what’s next.”
