Mrs. Olmos-Ollivier was raised in Texas and received her first purebred dog - a Chow - when she graduated from High School. She is a retired educator with a BS from the University of New Mexico, and is presently living in California.

During her 40 years in dogs she has bred, owned and shown over 30 champion Pekingese (five of which were Best in Show dogs), and has owned a BIS Champion Kerry Blue, four Champion Parti-Color Cockers and a Champion Wire Fox Terrier.

In their kennel (co-owned with her sister, Mrs. Patricia Miller), they have had Lhasas, Italian Greyhounds, Norwich Terriers and a Miniature Schnauzer at one time or another.

She began judging dogs in 1960 and now judges all Toys, all Non-Sporting, all Terriers, nine Hounds and 15 Sporting breeds and has judged all over the world and most major U.S. shows.

Twenty-five years ago she founded the Long Beach Kennel Club (now considered a top show in Southern California), serving as Secretary. She is also a Board Member of the Toy Breeders Association of Southern California, a recently approved Group Show Club.
