About Hotshot Kennels

Hotshot Kennels is a small mother and daughter showing and breeding kennel located in the shadows of the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

All handling of our own dogs as well as client dogs is done by Becky and Cassie Noe, with precision and love.

Here at Hotshot Kennels, we believe in Quality before Quantity, and strive to only produce the best.

Cassandra has been showing dogs for over 10 years. During that time, she has finished multiple breeds, and garnered multiple group wins and placements on a variety of different breeds while working for professional handlers.

As an past Junior Handler, some of her career highlights were the #1 Australian Shepherd Junior Handler, the #6 Herding Group Junior Handler, #2 English Springer Junior Handler, #2 Sporting Group Junior Handler, and the #5 All Breed Junior Handler, winner of the Central Region Top Junior Handler Competition for 2003, Best Junior Handler at the PSESSA specialty before the Nationals, and making the cuts at Westminster three of the five times that she attended.

While enjoying her time as a Junior Handler, she had the privilege of showing some wonderful dogs for local people in Colorado and the surrounding states. With those dogs, she also enjoyed many successes. She finished and specialed Maddie, the English Mastiff to the #12 Mastiff in the Country, and a Top 5 Bitch. She also had Corwin, the Polish Lowland Sheepdog, and was a key factor in his #4 Breed ranking. Cassie was instrumental in putting majors on Dobermans, Aussie's, Bouvier's, Springer's, and many other breeds throughout the years, including multiple Best in Specialty wins, Best of Breed wins and a Group Placement on her own Aussie, Hotshot. Cassie appreciates the trust and confidence their owners had in her, and they were a big factor in helping her become the handler and person that she is today.

Cassie has also had the privilege of working for some of the best handlers across the country, be it for a weekend, or on a full time, like Clint Livingston, Doug, Michaelanne, Colton and Heather Johnson, Don and Pat Rodgers, Amy Rodriguez (now Booth) and Phil Booth, and started it all off with Sara Melichar, who showed her the ropes at the ripe age of 12, breaking her in on the wonderful breed of Dobermans.

Cassie has now started her own Professionally Presented Dog business, where she accepts a limited number of quality dogs. You can find out more about Cassie as an All Breed Professional Handler at her web site.
