We’re members of the BCCA, CBCC and the BCCCF and I’m treasurer of the Florida club. We help with rescue and are currently on a steep learning curve to herd with our younger dog.

After moving to Florida I spent 7 years in executive management at Tech Data Corporation, an international distributor for technology products. While in New York, I served on the national board of the Girl Scouts of the USA.

Whether we breed or not, I think we each have a responsibility to help ensure a healthy future for Beardies. A comprehensive and open health registry can help lower incidence of inherited disease and shows our commitment to the breed.
