Who was your most significant mentor and what was the most valuable
information he/she gave you-Kris
Kris, this is a good one.....
I have had several mentors who have guided me well. Sandy Anderson is the
first person who gave me a chance in dogs I don't think anyone else would have
given me. I was only 17 years old when I contacted her; I flew to Woodside
Kennels three days later and the rest is history. I think the most
significant insight she offered was to always follow my gut on what I though a
good
decision was, in dogs and life. I spent a few summers at the kennel and
gained
an insight on the GSD I wouldn't have receive without her attention.
Carolyn Martello, however, is someone I have grown incredible close to the
past few years. I consider her a close friend and my mother in dogs as she
has guided me with her insight on the GSD since I've known her. Their has not
been a time she hasn't been by my side to praise a win, console a loss, or
help me with a problem I was facing. She has never provided me with the answer
to any question but has pushed me in the right direction. I admire the
Marhaven breeding program, what her dogs have done for the breed, and how
humble
she is after each win.
I have also always admired the Fasanos and although I know don't know Frank
or Kris as well as like, I have always admired what their achievements in
dogs. They are so kind, easy to approach, and have a charisma I think should
be
respected by all.
