DobyLexingtonPlayresize.jpg
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.
