Urban Legends is located just outside of Kingston, Ontario, Canada On a little over 2 acres of land dedicated completely to my dogs.

I am currently on the board of Directors for the CANADIAN MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD ASSOCIATION and The MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD CLUB OF AMERICA. I am the PRESIDENT / FOUNDING MEMBER of the THAI RIDGEBACK CLUB of CANADA and the PRESIDENT of the MAPLE LEAF KENNEL CLUB (UKC) . I am also the rescue co-ordinator for the Thai Ridgeback Club of Canada. I was previously VICE PRESIDENT of the CANADIAN NATIONAL NEAPOLITAN MASTIFF CLUB, as well as the SECRETARY/ SHOW ORGANIZER for the CANADIAN MOLOSSER ASSOCIATION.

I have been involved with animals all of my life. Having grown up on a hobby farm and always having farm dogs as well as many other animals. I worked at a breeding kennel which led me to breeding Rottweilers. I have been involved in breeding, showing, training, and competing with dogs for over 30 years. I also trained and competed with my Quarter Horses for many years. I was a zookeeper and am well versed in breeding, training and animal husbandry.

I am very active in the dog show world attending events nearly every weekend in the summer. I can be found with my dogs at Canine Federation of Canada, Canadian Kennel Club, American Rare Breed Assoc., American Kennel Club, Agility Association of Canada, United Kennel Club events and many others. We compete in many areas such as conformation, agility, rally-obedience, herding, lure coursing, barn hunting and scent detection. I also organize events for the Maple Leaf Kennel Club. I have Judged junior handlers, matches and Specialties, rat wrangled at Barn Hunts, been a hide official for scent trials. I have judged at race meets and acted as hunt master at Lure coursing trials. I teach Barn hunt classes, show handling classes and scent detection classes.

I have travelled world wide to compete with my dogs and evaluate dogs for breeding programs.

All of my dogs are raised in my home, and not in a kennel. They are very important part of the family and are well-loved pets. For me, dogs are my passion and competing and spending time with my dogs is my enjoyment. All of my dogs are owner handled in the conformation and performance ring.

We are proud to say that our dogs have also assisted some very talented Junior handlers move up the ranks. My aim is to breed intelligent, happy, healthy dogs who are a pleasure to live with as pets, show, working and performance dogs. I take pride in producing highly trainable, fun-loving puppies with tons of attitude, correct temperament for the breed and showmanship.
