Biography
I have been an active, dedicated professional in the industry for more than forty years. My involvement began in 1973 with the acquisition of my first high-in-trial dog. Over time, my dedication to Shelties has been driven by their remarkable intelligence and unwavering loyalty, which has continually deepened both my passion and expertise in the field.

My foundation bitch was a Banchory Reflection daughter from Bob and Gale Carpenter of Woodbridge Shelties, and she was the dawn of Country Lane Shelties. Over the years I have prided myself on my small, intimate, kennel, only every keeping less than ten at a time. My beloved dogs, many of whom are champions, have always lived out their entire lives with my family and me.

Over the course of my profession, I was instrumental in the Shetland Sheepdog Club of Western New York as a founding charter member and as the current president for over five years. I am proud to say we will be held our 50th independent specialty in 2024.

Over the years I have actively stayed involved with the everchanging growth of the industry by making an effort to attend as many Nationals as possible beginning with my first in 1981. In 2012, I reached a lifetime goal when I became an AKC judge and have spent the last decade travelling the country judging over 21 specialities in Hawaii, and all over the continental US. I have a love for the breed and the wonderful mentors and friendship I have cultivated over the years.
