Leslie is probably most well known for her Junior Showmanship career. She showed Papillons, Goldens, an Irish setter, and a French bulldog in juniors. In 1998, 1999, and 2000 she was the top Papillon junior in the US. 2000 also came with Top Toy in the US and number 5 overall in the US. In 2001 and 2002 she became Top Golden junior in the US. 2002 she was ranked in the Toy Group as was the Top Sporting junior (the only one to ever do this) and number one junior in the US. When 2003 came along Leslie savored her senior year of high school and her first semester of college. She qualified for Westminster a total of eight times and she was still ranked in the top 20 despite having aged out in September. Leslie has very fond memories of juniors and will always cherish what it gave to her life and the people she met along with the wonderful places she traveled.
