Born in PA, we moved to FL in 2005. I now work as a Pet Professional - Grooming, Training, and offering reproductive assistance to local kennels and breeders throughout the state.
From reptiles, horses, and now dogs, animals have always been a huge part of my life.
At the age of 6 I was already owning boas, pythons and skinks and much more- from there I began breeding, and performing Exotic Animal educational shows. Through high school and college I was working as a stable-hand, as well as rehabbing aggressive rescue cases and training service animals.
I am now hired Internationally, and Nationally by programs, and breeders to raise, evaluate and assist with whelping/ breeder related services.
Animal husbandry is a passion of mine that has me constantly learning. I have been very honored to be trusted, and mentored through the world of purebreds. We are so grateful to have grown into what we are now, and we will continue to strive towards our goals.
After years of working with many breeds... Deciding to work with Giant Schnauzers was the best decision. They are extremely entertaining and always keep me on my toes!
My personal goals with the breed are to prioritize diversity along with balance. Health testing, temperament testing and keeping mindful of conformational structure along with maintaining versatility.

In middle school, I was introduced to dog shows through my sister, and enjoyed the supportive community. I developed a more in-depth passion for purebred dogs and began showing as a junior in UKC.
I was then fortunate enough to own my first MAS- Posie, then Nessa- one of our Giant schnauzers.. From there, I fell in love with the breeds
In middle school, I was introduced to dog shows through my sister, and enjoyed the supportive community. I developed a more in-depth passion for purebred dogs and began showing as a junior in UKC.
I was then fortunate enough to own my first MAS- Posie, then Nessa- one of our Giant schnauzers.. From there, I fell in love with the breeds we worked with, along with whelping for other breeders.
I sought more knowledge on how to groom, train, and prepare for the ring with my first purebred.
I worked with many mentors and learning so much.
Once I moved away from my mother's house, I had the opportunity to get a cat! (She was severely allergic).
I wanted to show cats as well and learn about the many potential breeds that would fit my preferences and finally decided on Scottish folds.
TICA was extremely beginner friendly, and the amazing people there had endless information.
With the help of my sister, we ended up importing our kittens from Moscow. Those breeders that helped us get started still love the updates, and kittens we have produced since then.
Being immersed in the show and breeding community for over 8 years, I’ve found myself gravitating towards the reproductive aspect of dogs and cats. Within the next few years, I will start my adventure towards becoming a Theriogenologist, and do my part for other preservation breeders. I’m excited to continue to expand my knowledge and career while producing healthy furry family members.
