Dog
Show Handling
I began showing in conformation and Junior Showmanship in
1987, and later worked for professional show handlers for 3 years, learning
to train, groom, and show dogs of many breeds in all of the AKC Groups.
I have handled dogs to multiple Group and Specialty wins and have been
proud to finish many Champions, including putting most or all of the show
points on over 40 Dual Champion Brittanys.
I spend most of my time traveling to shows & field
trials throughout the US. I show just a few
times during spring and fall field trial season, but in May and June I show every week in several states. One of my main goals
is to promote the Dual Champion, so I am always looking for great
field trial dogs to show; but I have finished dogs from many varied backgrounds. Please contact
me for rates and availability for show handling, grooming, evaluations
and training.
