My husband Fred and I live on forty acres of farm land on the outskirts of Calgary, Alberta.

Our kennel facility is a 1500 square foot building with indoor - outdoor runs. Three of these runs are attached to another building and covered from the elements. The dogs enjoy exercising in a securely fenced one acre paddock . Two smaller paddocks adjoin this area. The entire kennel facility is fenced for safety.

Dogs are never crated and have large, roomy indoor heated runs to sleep in at night. They travel to the shows, in a 1999 Ford Diesel one ton van. Handling, grooming, board, and conditioning rates are available upon request.

Only dogs which are competing at the shows board at our facility. This gives all dogs my undivided attention.

I have been involved with dogs for more than 30 years. Starting in Obedience, I titled many dogs to all three levels. Upon leaving the Junior Handling ring, I apprenticed for many of Canada's Top Handlers. I continued as an assistant for eight years.  In 1987 I branched out onto my own, and for the past 17 years, I have had the honor of presenting some of Canada's Top Show Dogs.

I have won more than 250 Best In Show Awards, National Specialties in both Canada and the USA, as well as Canada's Prestigious Show of Shows in 1997.  I have set many records with the breeds I have chosen to present.  Some of these dogs are featured on the following  pages. I thank their owners for enabling me to reach for the stars.

In addition to showing dogs, I am the CKC Zone 10 representative for Junior Handling, I write a monthly column called "Alberta Activities" for one of Canada's top all-breed dog magazines, Canine Review, and I am the Vice President of the Canadian Professional Handler's Association.

In 2001 I had the honor of being presented with the "Pedigree Professional Handler of The Year Award", the last that Pedigree presented. Thank you to all who made that possible.

And now allow me to introduce you to the dogs who have made my profession so enjoyable...
