Growing up we always had a variety of animals.
In the early 90's I decided it was time to have a 4 legged companion. My older daughter
worked at a boarding kennel at the time and brought me home a girl of unknown
background, Elvira. Then my boss decided Elvira needed a friend and my daughter
needed a dog to show, so Kallie the golden retriever entered. Kallie loved training
classes but hated to show. When Elvira died suddenly Kallie needed a friend so I got my
first English Lab, Bella.
My adventures in the world of pure bred show dogs began in full. I had a great mentor in
labs and learned so much. Meanwhile my daughter showed the dogs and enjoyed the
activity.
In 1999 I decided I would like a different breed, one I can show myself. I started looking
and found the spinoni. I had seen a spinone on one of my trips to Italy but was so busy
at the time with work, I gave no thought to the breed. After many phone calls I spoke
with a breeder who had many of the same ideas that I had. So in July 2000 my spinone
adventures began. I flew to Kentucky and met Pat Fendley, Mals About Spinone. With
her guidance I was able to pick my first spinone, Mals-About Echowin Gavi. Gavi has
opened many doors for me and has helped me make many new friends from all over the
US. Pat has become a great friend and mentor.
