My Rotties and Shepherds were true working dogs competing in Obedience, Tracking, and Schutzhund.  Along the way, I also have trained Search and Rescue Dogs, Police Patrol Dogs and Narcotics Detection Dogs.  I decided to "try out" the breed ring and figured, hey how hard can it be to have a pretty dog stand still, gait, stand still, and gait again?  BOY was I in for a rude awakening! 
Not only is it hard to find the right dog, it is hard to break into this sport as an owner handler ESPECIALLY in the tough rings of the Working group.

Luckily, along my journey, I met up with Donna Merolla of Ravenwood Boxers.  Donna and I became great friends and through her I met Debbie Struff of Raklyn Boxers, Elaine Mangiafico of Elytes Boxers and Carol Josephson of SweetBriar Boxers.  These women all in some way or another became not only my mentors, but my closest friends in this sport.  I am forever thankful for all that they have taught and are continuing to teach me.  Without their guidance and support, I, like most newcomers would have given up long ago.  Because of their guidance,
I am now handling dogs in the breed ring for other people.
 

That's it about me, take a look at the dogs that have moved in and taken over my home!
