3pups.JPG (27609 bytes)Peke puppies are precocious when popping pictures. But a good handler has control of her charges...well, maybe just one at a time! Lenny! Katie! Billie! Stay still!!! I'm trying to take your picture! Oh, those Prima Pekingese puppies!

I've been handling my own dogs since we started showing in the 70's. I love it! Several years ago I began to handle Pekes for other people on a limited basis. I've also handled a couple of French Bulldogs as well. If you work on the weekends, don't have the time to condition a dog properly, or just can't take the "intensity" of being in the ring, e-mail me...I'd like to help you. I'll accept most well-behaved toys (no coated ones except Pekes, please) and most other small "non-coated" breeds. My charge for handling is so reasonable, you won't believe it.

This is Lee's JJ at Mor-Lane, a dog bred and owned by June Strange of VanNuys, CA. Here, judge Tim Catterson, awards JJ a 5 point major!
Molly2.jpg (14392 bytes) This is Molly, imported by my friend, Don Johnson. It took me a while but I finally finished Molly in the fall of 2000. She'd had a litter of puppies the previous year and her coat was reduced to a few wisps of hair. It took a while to get her back into condition. Although not the most heavily coated bitch, she does have the most beautiful tail and skirts I've had on a bitch. 
Wacianaframe.JPG (25060 bytes) Waciana was the first dog I showed as a "professional." She belonged to my good friend, Eugene Hinson of South Carolina. If I was any good at touching up pictures, I'd show you how happy I really was with this WB win at a specialty.
Billie.JPG (11152 bytes) I showed this little bitch (Billie) for a client in NC, Rachel Braxton. Unfortunately, Billie died from a tumor on her esophagus.
Mannyframe.JPG (14784 bytes) I showed Manny for my good friend and mentor, Ruby Dudley. Here he is winning Best in Sweepstakes at NCIPC. He went on to WD, BOW and BOB under the renowned Pekingese authority, Nigel Aubrey-Jones. 
Ll.jpg (17939 bytes) Here's another beautiful dog I showed for Ruby. We called him Little Lypton.
