CH Voldemort at Chekrd Des Oursons Du Vent "Doby"

Multiple Group Winner - #1 Newf

~Specializing in Working & Sporting Dogs~
Also shown dogs from the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting & Herding Groups

This is my LOVE.

I have had the pleasure to handle wonderful dogs to their championships and top rankings in their breeds.

My aunt , Georgette Bodnar (a former Pembroke Welsh Corgi breeder who bred under the "Classic" kennel name), introduced me to the dog show world when I was a kid.   She also had Great Danes, German Shepherds and one cocker as I grew up. My uncle, Art Franklin, a breeder/exhibitor of Saint Bernards and Newfoundlands also fueled this love.

I have developed my handling skills over the years from top working & sporting handlers and first hand experience.  I still have great respect for those handlers to this day.    I started handling my own dogs in 1988, starting with "Neige", my first Great Pyrenees, and I have not stopped since.
