Ella has been involved with dogs, dog care, dog breeding and dog shows ever since she was a little girl. Her first two dogs were Corgis: Coco and Cruiser. She got them from my wife's breeder and close friend, Jamie, who liked Ella so much she would invite her out for her big Corgi parties and also taught her about taking care of dogs, training them, and showing them. Ella showed Coco at least once and maybe a couple times, but was much more interested in just playing with and taking care of her dogs. Both the dogs lived long lives and in the years just before Ella went to college they both passed about a year apart. She's now graduated from college and will be going to grad school in the Fall and eventually will be an accountant with Deloitte. I feel certain one of the first things she will do at that point is get a dog. One other thing: in 2009 when she was 7 we stayed at Oxford University for 6 weeks. I let her use my camera when we'd go walking through Port Meadow where there were tons of Brits with their dogs. That's why I have hundreds of photos of British dogs in my files for 2009. Ella is also very athletic and in great shape. She has often taken care of neighbors' dogs when they're away. She'll be a great dog walker or dog sitter.
