The sign over my office door reads "Full Time Dog Man-Part Time Attorney".  I started in dogs in 1980, just a couple of years after beginning my practice.  Picking my first German Shorthaired Pointer puppy, at ten weeks of age, I did a pretty good job.  Rommel was a top ten dog, along with being my versatile dog - doing obedience and NAVHDA.  I have remained active and successful in this breed.  My bitch was Best of Breed at Westminster in 2010 and her daughter racked up multiple wins in the 6-9 puppy class, at this year's National Specialty. 

I did some showing and breeding of English Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers.  However, my next big venture was with Pointers.  Since 1990, I have been involved with this breed.  Owning and breeding many Group and Best In Show winners.  Most have had their hunting titles, too.  One Best In Show bitch also was the top Field Trial puppy, a previous year. 

Acquiring a German Wirehaired Pointer bitch in 1995, I campaigned her to the top ten.  A bitch from her litter was in the top ten, three years in a row. 

My experience with the three Pointer breeds lead me to present a comparison seminar about them.  I now judge the entire Sporting Group.  I have officiated at the German Shorthaired Pointer and Golden Retriever Nationals.  My Wife and I live with a GSP and Pointer, in Wesley Chapel, Florida.  We collect dog art and travel to Crufts, regularly.  I have judged in Columbia and Sweden.
