In 1968, while exhibiting cattle and horses in 4H, I began my foray into the 
world of dogs with Poodles. In 1973 I began a continuing association with the 
Irish Wolfhound, successfully competing with some top-ranked animals of this 
breed, along with titling my Welsh Springer Spaniel. During a brief respite from
the active dog show scene to concentrate on family and the completion of my
education, I still found time to exhibit and finish numerous dogs and co-breed 
with others in the toy, sporting and hound groups.

1990 marked my very active return to the world of dog shows with an
involvement with Yorkshire Terriers. As a small hobby breeder/exhibitor, 
I have been rewarded with recognition as Select Breeder twice from the 
Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, and Top Breeder twice for the regional
specialty club, Yorkshire Terrier Club-Los Angeles, along with having three 
Register of Merit awards for my stock who have also won Stud Dog and 
Brood bitch of the Year awards. I also own dogs who have won the YTCA 
and regional specialty clubs' Stud Dog and Brood bitch classes numerous 
times.  My Yorkshire Terriers have held top rankings in the USA every
year from 1997 through 2001. 

Successfully competing in other countries, I have eight Canadian Champions; 
under FCI competition my stock has been awarded a World Champion and
a Junior World Champion and four FCI International Champion titles as 
well as titles from Finland, Denmark, Netherlands and Mexico. In 1998 I 
finished my first terrier who went on to be one of the top ranked USA
Cairn Terriers in 2001.

I am an active member of Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, 
Scottsdale Dog Fanciers Association, Stewards Club of Arizona 
and Lake Mathews KC in CA.  I am a past President for 
Saluki League of Southern Arizona, a past member of the
Irish Wolfhound Club of America and Irish Wolfhound 
Association of the West Coast. 
I am also an AKC licensed judge for multiple breeds.

In my private life I have a grown son who is an American Sign Language
interpreter.  I work as a financial economic analyst as well as serving on
the boards of various charitable organizations.

Regards and contact me if I can provide any resources or answers to 
questions you may have.
