I was raised into a household of canines, chickens, cats, and horses, and as far back as I can remember we have been breeding dogs. We have raised Pits (pulling), Jack Russell Terriers (Parson now), and Shih-Tzus, but those are not the only breeds we have owned. Currently, I have two Shih-Tzus, and one Shih-Tzu/Boston Terrier mix. They are heart, and the older one, Elvis, usually goes where ever I go, so don't be surprised if he comes along to work with me. Don't worry, he doesn't bite! He loves to go, and so do I!
In 2006 I started on my certification for dog grooming and training while I worked as a vet assistant for Dr. Brandon at Felines and Friends. I also ran puppy pre-school along with another tech there. In late 2007, I became certified and began my long career in the pet industry. I've work for myself, Petsmart, Petsense, and local groom shops as well. I love what I do and enjoy spending time with your fur kids as much as you do.
