| My passion for dogs
started at a young age. My Grandmother bred Standard Poodles and
my parents always had a dog. When I was older, I had an elderly
neighbour who had a German Shepherd dog. He was too old to walk
his dog Boots, so I did. I quickly fell in love with Boots and
from that day forward, it has been nothing but Shepherds for me.
I started out in working lines and we did
Shutzhund, Herding and Therapy work for St. John Ambulance. After
time I realized I needed a calmer dog so I started doing research on the
American show lines. I now have 2 beautiful American show line
girls, Sky and Raven. They are everything we could have asked for
and we can't wait to get the into the show ring in 2009. We do not
kennel our girls (they are kept in the house with us) so it certainly
keeps us on our toes!
For the past 2 years I have also taught
obedience classes for The Ultimate Companion in Barrie and have donated
classes to the Barrie O.S.P.C.A. I have not been breeding for long
and have only had one litter to date. I am a member of the Barrie
Kennel Club, Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and German Shepherd Club of
Canada. Although I wish I could be home with the dogs
full-time, I am the Financial Controller for a local home builder.
