I was thrilled to get the call with this invitation. Being a
frequent visitor to Canada as a tourist, exhibitor and judge, I invariably
come away invigorated and inspired.
Breeding Shelties has been my passion for forty years. I’ve
owned and /or bred 14 American ROM sires, 3 American ROM dams and numerous
BIS and ASSA winners. Along with my husband, Tom, I was named AKC Herding
Group Breeder of the Year 2004. While an impressive record, most important
has been my relationships with these dogs. Among their gifts to me has
been a deeper appreciation of the Standard, a sharper mental picture of
the ideal Sheltie, and a strong commitment to excellence.
Thank you for making this assignment available to me. I will
do everything that I can to give it the honor and respect that it deserves.
