We are both animal lovers and proud of all of our four legged kids. Spoiling them rotten is our favorite pastime.

I attended George Brown College, taking an animal attendant course. Have since worked in a dog and cat boarding kennel, a vets, and managing a pet store. I have been a dog and cat groomer for 20 years.
I've been educating people on pet care all my life, and really enjoy this work.
My life is fulfilled with my own animal sanctuary at home, and my other half Eric, an animal lover himself, is supportative of anything I do.
I remember having six pets while growing up, and if my family couldn't find me, I was probably in the dog house playing or sleeping. At 5 years of age, I wanted to be mother nature. My favorite memory is playing mother bird to my younger brother, and feeding him earth worms!

As long as I can remember, we have always had animals. Dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and the odd pony here and there. I have always had a special bond to dogs and remember only being without one for 4 months.
All our dogs were big ones, german sheperds, labs and a few mutts. All that changed when I babysat a small dog for a friend. I was 'hooked' on small dogs, and bought my first small dog, a shi-poo. I now breed Shih Tzu's and love all my little guys.
Several years ago, my friend Denise & I decided we would like to breed Persians and began this adverture in 2005 with a black smoke female. We now have 7 females and 2 males.
I have also decided to try out the exotic line, but have only 1 beautiful female so far.
I was self employed for 15 years doing home daycare. I now work at a dog kennel, cleaning, and selling. I enjoy both jobs, it is always fulfilling to see people's happy faces when buying a puppy. I hope we will see this same happiness with our kittens in the future.
