I began showing American Cocker Spaniels in the 1980s as an owner-handler. Over the years, I began to show other breeds. As a professional handler, I have had the privilege of showing American Staffordshire Terriers, Brittany’s, Chinese Shar-Pei, English Cocker Spaniels, and Bernese Mountain Dogs, to name a few.
I have traveled to prestigious shows such as Westminster, Eukanuba,
The American Spaniel Club, Great Western, and many other out-of-state Specialties.

Services
I am only handling American Cocker Spaniels now and I concentrate on a selective group of high-quality dogs to take to shows.
We always strive to provide proper care for the dogs entrusted to us
and to make showing fun!
We are a licensed kennel.
We board, transport, care for, and groom our client dogs.
*I no longer accept ringside pickups.

Terms and conditions
For our client's convenience, we bill monthly for all services rendered.
All bills are to be paid in full before the return of dogs.
A deposit of $500 is needed and will be credited to the final bill.
All entry fees, veterinarian fees, medication, special diets, and all phone
calls are to be paid by the client.
All dogs must have current health records.
Dogs contracted for any given show pay full rate and assessment of fees
if pulled after the close of entry.
In case of ring conflict, priority will be at Astrid's discretion.
If necessary, a competent substitute handler will be chosen to take your dog in the ring and you will be charged full fees.
If no competent handler is available, your dog will be marked as absent.
