I have been involved with dogs from a young child. Over the last few years i have successfully shown both my own dogs and other exhibitors dogs handling to top awards, winning C C and res C C for fellow exhibitors also showing horses in hand at a high level. Breeding and showing dogs and horses has taught me patience. i have discovered that animals can learn just about anything you want to teach them, but you have to understand their personalities—just like humans. i learned how to deal with different personalities and working with dogs has taught me great patience.
