About the Breeder:
I recently realized I've been in the sport of dogs for 20 years. I first entered a training class to learn how to train a puppy I hoped to get someday, an Australian Shepherd. The dog I trained was an 11 year old American Eskimo. She was good and I was encouraged to show her in AMBOR. We received our CD in 12 weeks of training with a 196.3 average. WOW! Finally, the Aussie came into my life, and I found out I had a lot to learn. I have had good mentors in all aspects of the dog world. I thank them for taking their time and energy to teach me so much! For the past ten years I've been teaching obedience, agility, conformation and junior handling, in addition to training and showing my dogs in obedience, agility, conformation and herding, and other people's dogs in conformation. I believe with positive reinforcement, patience, persistance and love, one can accomplish anything!
