Vera became involved in purebred dogs in 1965 when she purchased her first boxer - a classic, brindle male of the Mazelaine lines. He became the first of many boxers under the Bavaria's prefix.

Vera began showing boxers in 1965 and breeding them in 1967. She has finished many boxers under the Bavaria's name as well as achieving a Sire of Merit and two Dams of Merit (littermates), and a third place Top Producing Sire.

During this time, Vera had the advantageous opportunity to spend time with Larry Downey in his kennel. She had hands-on with some of the old-time great dogs.

In 1968, Vera began handling dogs professionally. She has handled a variety of dogs in all of the groups. She taught conformation classes from 1988-2006.

In 2001, Vera published a children's book about her handicapped boxer which identifies with the fears, frustrations and perseverance experienced by children living with handicaps.
