Professional Dog Handling
I started showing dogs when I was 5 years old. My Grandfather ran and bench-showed American Foxhounds. He would run his dogs in the trials during the morning. Then in the evening there was the bench show, which was my favorite part. I would get my dog on the bench with one hand under his chin, and the other brushing his tail up and down. I was in my element. Even
though my head was barely visible, I was having the time of my life!!
I started showing AKC Registered dogs when I was 14. Over the years, I have shown many breeds of dogs including English Springer Spaniels, Chows, Pekingese, Pomeranians, Great Danes, Bulldogs, Pugs, Norfolk Terriers, Brussels Griffons, and Poodles. My first breed and the first love of my life was and still is the Brussels Griffons. My best friend, Sheila, and I bred and showed over 100 Griffons to their championships. Our
kennel name was Wee-Ones. Sheila and I went to shows every weekend and we had 5 Wee-Ones Griffons in the top 10 at one time. Those were the good old days! I sure miss them!!
