I have been showing dogs since I was in diapers!  My aunt was a breeder/handler of BIS/BISS winning Great Danes.  She got my sister and I involved with show dogs at an extremely early age.  My sister and I started with Afghan Hounds, but purchased our first Saluki in 1982 when I was age 8.  I have loved Salukis ever since, breeding 6 Saluki litters and finishing many Champions, Field Champions, & Obedience Titled Salukis.  My husband and I were the 2012 American Saluki Association Breeders of the Year.  We have bred & owned Multiple Top 10 Salukis and Multiple Group-Winning Salukis and a Multiple Best In Show/Multiple Best in Specialty Winner.  I also was given my first Border Collie when I was 11 years old.  I enjoyed obedience & herding events with her and have always owned a Border Collie since that time.  I have been an AKC Licensed Junior Showmanship judge since I was 18 years old.
