It is wonderful to love what you do - we both grew up in the dog show world and each have 20+ years of expertise and experience in each group.
We offer personal, individualized care for your dog while in our care. We form a bond with each and every dog and that bond clearly shows in our results. With our expertise your dog will be presented in the show ring with style, while receiving the best care and enjoying the experience! Check out our dog show photos to see examples of how we interact and bond with the dogs we show. We know you will see the passion we have for the pro dog handling sport and the love we both share for dogs of all shapes and sizes.
You can see us at dog shows in the Pacific Northwest; Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia as well as Northern California, Arizona and select shows in the Mid West. We have guided many beautiful dogs to their Championships (American and Canadian), Grand Championships, Best in Show (BIS), National Specialty Best in Show (BISS), Group Wins, and Best Puppy in Show. All the hard work pays off, with national rankings, year after year.

It's hard to remember a time not being at a dog show! I have been showing since a junior in the late 80's and the show bug never stopped. I grew up in Washington and spent much of my time traveling to shows with my parents who bred Old English Sheepdogs, Afghan Hounds, and Flat-Coated Retrievers. After attending college (Go Cougs!) and working an office job for a couple years I found my way back to the ring. Showing has shaped my life where I met beautiful wife Rowan and we share this world with our children Teagan and Nolan that you'll see around the ring. Over the years I have personally owned many breeds with particular interest in Silky Terriers and in the most recent years the Miniature Bull Terrier. I have been lucky to work with many other great handlers and have wonderful relationships with clients. I would be lying if I didn't admit how competitive I am, but that's part of the fun! We have been fortunate to represent great examples of many breeds and rank many of them nationally on annual basis.

Growing up in Victoria, Canada my parents bred and raised Akitas and Shiba Inus so the sport of purebred dogs has always been a part of my life. My mother is also a CKC and AKC judge so it seemed like a natural fit to continue in the show world. In junior showmanship I started showing Japanese Chins and absolutely fell in love with the breed and have owned and bred several. I apprenticed under Michelle Yeadon for a decade learning the craft of being a professional handler - she was such a great mentor! Luke and I reside in Washington with our young children, Teagan and Nolan, but I still call Canada home too! I thoroughly enjoy the relationships I build with the dogs we show and helping them show to their best potential. As our children have got older, it has been heartwarming watching them form bonds with the dogs and enjoy the life we have made for them.
