I bred Dachshunds for 45 years under the Pramada prefix with my husband David. We produced many champions and group winners, including the first Longhaired Dachshund ever to win the Hound Group at Westminster. We showed our own dogs and finished many of them from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class. We now exclusively breed and show Affenpinschers under the Pramada Naughty prefix. We have produced BIS and GroupWinners. We breed, raise, show and groom all the Affenpinschers ourselves. I am a Parent Club approved mentor for  the Dachshund Club of America and the Affenpinscher Club of America. I have judged all over the world and enjoy the dogs, seeing new places and meeting new people. 

I believe as a judge it is vitally important to remember the exhibitors are the customers. It is necessary to be pleasant, kind and encouraging to all but especially to newer or young people in our sport.
