The greatest thrill of my career in breeding dogs happened at The Poodle Club of America National Specialty 1998 where a junior puppy bitch that I bred and own was awarded Reserve Winners Bitch and Best Standard Poodle Puppy.  She has continued her winning ways and completed both her American and Canadian Championships with Group Firsts in both countries while still a puppy.

I feel it is important to give something back to the people and dogs that have brought such joy to my life so over the years I have been involved with many clubs. Currently I am a member of the Ottawa Valley Poodle Club, Versatility in Poodles, and a member of the Poodle Club of America, as well as being the Hospitality Chairperson. I was also President and Trustee of the Genodermatosis Research Foundation.

I am proud to be the breeder of Am/Can Ch Carrington Alias Classic, multiple Best in Show winner and co-breeder of Am. Can. Ch. Xanadu of Highprofile, two of the top Standard Poodles in Canada in the year 2000.
