“Without a sound, powerful hindquarter, you might have a beautiful dog, but you don't have a working dog.”  - Linda Shaw


It’s important that my dogs have the proper conformation, not only to look “pretty,” but also so that they are physically capable of performing in the field.  Minute anatomical differences that are really only paid attention to in the show ring all have a purpose in the Bracco’s function as a working dog.


Hector was my first “show dog,” and since starting with him in 2005, I’ve handled dozens of breeds and shown many of those dogs to championships.  Besides just handling, I hope to one day judge.
