   Canines and the sport of pure-bred dogs have always been a big part of my life.  I grew up participating in dog events with my mother and, with the exception of college life, have never been without a dog.   My very first AKC licensed show was in 1979 with my Shetland Sheepdog.  Since then I have “grown up” and established my own kennel, White Ridge, located just outside of Green Bay, WI.  I am married to Rob and we have one son, Sam.  Currently we share our home with Standard Longhaired Dachshunds and two Border Collies.  I am involved and titled my dogs in multiple AKC venues, including conformation, agility, obedience, rally, herding and earthdog work.  In 2011 I became an AKC agility judge and soon followed with my junior showmanship license, rally license and conformation license to judge dachshunds and several other breeds in the conformation ring.  I enjoy working with the community and especially youth helping to ignite the excitement and passion that I have for canines.  I appreciate and delight in watching each and every team that steps to the start line in the agility ring.  Best of luck to you in whatever ring your dog takes you to!
