The first dog we had was a black cocker spaniel named Cinder when I was a baby. Then we got a GSD named Chrissie when I was about 1 1/2 years old. From there we moved to the country when I was 6 and built a boarding kennel named Janeff’s Boarding Kennel. Subsequently, we raised and showed GSD’s, Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s and Miniature Poodles and my parents ran a boarding kennel in Kansas City, Missouri. I showed a Miniature Poodle in Junior Showmanship for years. This was happening late 50’s and early 60’s. I was a dog show child attending dog shows with my parents as often as they were held in the midwest area. When I moved to California after college and marriage, I wanted to start showing dogs again and contacted Covy Tucker Hill’s for a GSD back in the early 80’s.
