I am licensed by AKC to judge all obedience and rally classes, juniors, Keeshonden and Dalmatians.  I'd also like to judge sweepstakes for any of the non-sporting, spitz, and toy breeds.  I am completing my provisional in Dalmatians and need one more rep evaluation to hopefully be ready to apply for regular status and additional breeds.

After a career in public administration, I am now happily running My Dogs Gym & Training Centre in Salem, OR.  I still breed and exhibit Keeshonden occasionally in conformation, obedience, rally, agility.   I recently earned certification as a training partner with the Karen Pyror Academy of Animal Behavior and Training (KPA-CPA).   I have had a lifelong passion for dogs - showing my first dog, a pomeranian, in the early 60s.  I began judging livestock in 4-H, have taken coursework at Oregon State University in livestock judging, and attended AKC and other organizations judging institutes.  I began judging at dog matches and trials in the 1970s.

 I have served in all breed obedience and conformation clubs in my area in all officer positions.  I am currently the Corresponding Secretary for the Keeshond Club of America and the Judges Education Coordinator.  I am a member of the Oregon Dog Judges study group.
