Having grown up in a animal centered family, my earliest and fondest memories are all about animals. My world still centers around them today. We are a multiple American Staffordshire Terrier household and I am very involved with the dog community. I enjoy competing with my dogs in Obedience, Rally, Draft Dog and Conformation. I have trained and shown my dogs to Multiple Titles in the events mentioned. My dogs and I are also involved with the Safety Around Dogs Program that teaches children how to behave and interact with dogs in a safe manner. We also participate in the canine vaudeville show that entertains in seniors homes in a number of communities.
As a breeder and kennel co- owner, I enjoy raising a couple litters a year, teaching puppies to learn and reach their full potential is a passion of mine.
I am a member of the Canadian Kennel, Dumbbell Obedience Club and Ventura Dog Fanciers Club of California I look forward helping your puppy reach it’s full potential through my Puppy and Basic Obedience classes at Cotton Field Training Center.
