Gale has been involved in the sport of purebred dogs since 1973. Her first dog, a Weimaraner, achieved a Breed Championship, a CDX Title and two Field Ratings giving her the title of Versatility Excellent by the National Club. With only two litters to her credit she also became a BROM Dam. Prior to these activities Gale earned a Master's Degree in Music and performed in Opera's and Musical Shows.

Finally, Gale's avocation became her vocation. She owned a large boarding kennel in Oxford, MA for 18 years.

In 1986, she had a dog that was in the Top Ten Field Ratings and another dog that was in the Top Ten Show Ratings. In 2004 her Weimaraner, Baron - who she bred, was the #1 male in the country in Conformation standings. In 2003 he was BOS at the National Specialty. In 2005 her male, Ch. Starwood's Handsome as Ever, won the Maturity at the National and in 2006 her bitch, Starwood's Emma v Donnergeist, was Best Bitch in Futurity at the Nationals. In 2015 her Weimaraner, GCHP CH Starwood's Reinhard V Dietz CGC TKN, who she bred, was BOS and Owner-Handler BOB at our National Specialty and he was Select Dog at the National in 2016. Marco went BOB at both the 2017 Westminster KC Show and the AKC National Championship show. He was the #2 Weimaraner in 2017 winning 18 specialty shows and two RBIS.
