High Plains Kennel Club has lost a truly remarkable person, a highly respected judge, dedicated Australian Cattle Dog breeder, mentor, and business owner, Amy Turner. Amy passed away after a brief illness on March 24, 2026.
In her honor, HPKC has created a Memorial Plaque that will be awarded once each show weekend, beginning with the July 2026 show cluster. The plaque was presented privately to her partner prior to Amy's Celebration of Life on May 30 as HPKC's way of honoring her memory and lasting contributions to the dog community.
The plaque was displayed during her service among the many beautiful photographs and cherished memories that reflected a life well lived and the countless lives she touched.
Rest peacefully and pain-free, Amy. Your legacy will continue to inspire and guide us for years to come.
