Our oldest daughter is 15. Mandy started showing in Junior
Handling at the age of 9. Attending the zone finals in our area twice, taking
second in her class in '99. In the breed ring, Mandy has shown not only our
dogs, but also basenji, boxer, cocker spaniel, etc. She stewards in obedience at
the annual local show yearly and was a founding member of the local Junior
Kennel Club.

When
not working with the dogs she plays baseball. A strong player on the team, you
most often see her (or not) behind the catchers mask. 2001 she brought home the
trophy for most valuable player. Mandy is in her fourth year as an umpire
as well. A real achiever, Mandy is a good student and plans to
continue her education through to university.

The youngest, our twins, at age 3 they already show an intense love of dogs - who think
the small humans need lots of kisses and attention. Never a dull moment with
these two around.
Darrell
Parker - Dog lover, Mustang enthusiast, Trekkie, Baseball coach, Umpire, and
Husband extraordinaire. He must be extraordinary to live with all of us.
Although Darrell doesn't show or train his dog (he leaves that to us), he was Vice
President and Obedience Chairman at our local all breed dog club for 3
years. This is the
man who said," NO MORE DOGS!" when we got the 4th, and now wants to keep a
puppy from our latest borzoi litter.
You Gotta Love
Him!
Last of all there's me, Rose Parker. Trainer, Handler, Groomer,
Mom, and all that goes with it. It is exhausting -but very rewarding. Having
grown up with a houseful of pets, I first started training and showing horses.
Upon marrying and having children it became much easier, and safer for the kids,
to turn my love for showing to the dogs.
