Like so many others, my love of dogs began with a TV show and a famous collie name Lassie.  I’ve had dogs all my life starting with the family dogs: Pip the little black mixed breed, Rags the cockapoo, and Sparky the Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix.  It wasn’t until we got Wylson (Welsh Springer Spaniel) in 2010 that I got into showing, both in conformation and obedience.  He finished his AKC Championship quickly.  After completing Wylson’s CD (Companion Dog) title, I registered Robby with AKC’s Canine Partners and got his CD and his RN (Rally Novice) at the age of 10.  Wylson and I are training for the Utility Dog (UD) obedience title and agility, and I look forward to training with him for tracking tests as well as learning about Barn Hunt. 

I am a member of Mount Vernon Dog Training Club, The Welsh Springer Spaniel Club of America, Greater Chesapeake Welsh Springer Spaniel Club, and Potomac Valley Golden Retriever Club.  I volunteer with Collie Rescue, Inc. as a foster home, transporter, and other duties as needed.
