I began working and training with animals as a teen, growing up in the Black Hills, of South Dakota. I have worked as a ranch hand, as well as with breeders and kennels over the years. I love all breeds, from borzoi to bulldogs, I enjoy the connection and trust earned from these creatures. The bonds formed, are of service and friendship.
