About Me

Meet Your Handler

I started showing dogs when I was 15 years old (1978 – you do the math) while I was working at a breeding/boarding kennel. The first breed I showed was a bloodhound. Then I acquired my own purebred dog, a Doberman pinscher. He was also my first heart dog. I was hooked!

Always a lover of all animals I pursued a career in wildlife and am now retired after 26 years as a Wildlife Biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and currently working part time at a veterinary hospital. I have continued to show purebred dogs in conformation, obedience, agility, and field events even though I have a full-time job. My husband and I have been breeding German wirehaired pointers for over 30 years and have enjoyed the breed immensely. We’ve bred only 7 litters in that time but have achieved many conformation champion titles as well as Master Hunters, Senior Hunters, obedience titles and agility titles.
