I had
started training with professional handler, Teresa Marley-Eggleton,
traveling and
learning tons!
She specialized in Sporting and Terriers. Teresa was also an accountant and was therefore a perfectionist!
I learned how to pack a van better than the guys at the airport can load a plane! I also learned how to show,
take care of and train almost any breed.

In
2002 I was in a car accident that changed my life and the way we do
things at the shows. For
more on the accident,
please go to Service Dog and read about it and the remarkable thing that happened to Tommy and I.

Late
in 2003 I started traveling with Kellie Miller, a professional hander.
We made a pretty good
team.
She love to drive and would do so until her arms would almost fall off! I'd spell her for an hour, and she'd be ready
to go again! At the show we would work it out that she would do all the set up, I would be pottying dogs. I would help
show the little dogs and the bigger dogs that were Very Good in the ring. I found I had no strength in my left arm, so
we were very careful to make sure of the safety of the dogs we showed. Someone would hold the dog and I would
take it in, if Kellie couldn't make the ring. We would use my van, ex-pens and sometimes my crates, creating a
partnership that worked out for both of us. As of March 1, 2005, Kellie has moved to Washington State, to be closer
to her main client, who wishes to see his dog more often than once in six months!
I will miss her and wish her Good Luck!
