| I have been involved in the sport of purebred dogs since the young age of 7. My first show dog was actually a 15'' Beagle named Cassie. In her very own special way, she taught me several important lessons that are still relevant to this day. She wasn't much of a show dog and ended up becoming my agility dog and together she and I set the fastest time for a 15'' Beagle in Jumpers. |

| Shortly after getting Cassie, I met one of the most influential people in the Vizsla breed - Carol Phelps. She gave me the opportunity to show some of her dogs and taught me the ropes of the conformation ring. It was with her guidance and help from all the special people that I met through her that I have become what I am today. Since then, I have finished and trained over 30 dogs. I have also had the opportunity to work for and apprentice under one of the most accredited Professional Handlers in the country, Linda Clark AKC PHA RVT. She handled the winningest Vizsla in the history of the breed, and it was an honor to be part of her team. Under her guidance and direction I was fortunate to learn about several other different breeds, meet some extraordinary people, and be included in the careers of some very special show dogs...
