Qualifications: Have been in the Sport of Dogs since 1975. Have been a dog owner all of my life and love the dogs. I have been judging dogs since 1992 and currently am approved by AKC to judge 12 herding breeds and have provisional status for 8 additional herding breeds where I have passed the study and tests and have assignments scheduled for those breeds but need to complete the requirement of judging them at five different shows before having the final approval.
 about yourself: I enjoy singing and photography. I volunteer in several singing groups. I take pictures when traveling and especially enjoy photographing birds.

about your work: I am a Professional Registered Parliamentarian and assist many groups by assisting their decision processes by advising them of the process for everyone to have a voice in the decision making while maintaining efficient meeting organization.

about your dogs:  I have German Shepherd Dogs and bred and raised a number of dogs that went on to high awards in obedience and in the dog shows. I have bred a number of champions and enjoy the company of my dogs.

what do you think about pet-show on-line: I have had experience in judging in the virtual dog show and find it interesting to study the dog and compare the view to the standard of the dog to find the dog that seems to best fit the standard.
