Being daughter to two life long breeder/exhibitors of Samoyeds & Dalmations and small time handlers themselves, I was literally born into the world of pure-bred dog shows. I am a true second generation to sharing the passions of pure-bred dog shows, so it was just a matter of a very short time before entering the show ring my self.

​

At the tender age of 7 years old I entered the show ring for the first time with family owned & bred BIS winning Samoyed "Kip" just for fun not expecting to win and I walked off with Best of Breed under judge Joe Gregory. Next was "Juniors" Winning Best Junior first 3 times in the juniors ring from novice junior class over seniors, bumping up to open juniors at age 10. The first dog I finished all the way threw was a bouvier at age 12, showing and pointing many before. I apprenticed for Glenn & Rebecca Lycan from GA. for two summers and a full year from age 17 to 19.

​

Next was taking a few years to master dog grooming before turning to a successful career as an AKC Professional Handler by age 23. Whether it's conditioning, training, exhibiting, giving a guiding hand to a new comer, I take great pride in every aspect of the sport!

​

While some breeds and their owners over the years seem to be more drawn in by my talents (Samoyed's, Portuguese Water Dogs, Bichon & Akitas) all breeds excel at the end of my lead and project that stand out precence in the show ring.

​

Over the past 30 plus years I have finished 100's of pure-bred dogs to their AKC Championships, Grand Championships, taken several to the top five status, and won a few sweet BIS wins over the years. I have a life long passion and dedication that will never leave my DNA. And I'm looking forward to continued success in the world of pure bred dog shows we all love so much.
