Breeding for type, temperament, structure, and health




The AKC Breeder of Merit program was established to honour qualified breeders who are dedicated to both their breeds and their dogs. To qualify, I had to document that I had bred/co-bred at least 4 dogs with conformation, performance, or companion event titles, had participated in AKC events for at least 5 years, belong to an AKC member club, certify that I perform all recommended health screenings on my breeding dogs, and prove that 100% of my puppies were AKC registered.
Since 2018 I have regularly stewarded conformation shows across the U.S. In 2024 I was proud to serve as an outside ring steward for the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club National Specialty in Mesquite, Texas. In 2023 the AKC started its Certified Steward program. I promptly completed the necessary requirements and was certified in early 2024.
I have been an associate member of the ACKCSC, the AKC parent club for Cavaliers, since March 2022. I am currently applying for regular voting membership.
I have been a member of the CKCSCGH since 2007, when I acquired my first Cavalier. I served as the rescue chair from 2009-2012 and the legislative liaison from 2012-2025. I have chaired the annual health clinic since 2018 and serve as counsel to the club as needed.
I have been a member of the CKCSCUSA, the original national breed club for Cavaliers in the USA, and its regional clubs, Cavaliers of the South and Cavaliers of the Midwest, since 2007.
I have been a member of the TCGH since 2016 and president of the club since 2024. I also chair the annual health clinic, serve as the legislative liaison, and coordinate breeder referral.
In 2025 I became the co-owner of a Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka, the AKC's newest toy breed. I am currently applying for membership to the RTBCA, the AKC parent club for Bolonki.
I am a dual citizen of the USA and Canada. I am currently applying for membership in the Canadian Kennel Club so I can register dogs and show in Canada in addition to the USA.
