Welcome to Taking The Lead....For Great Dogs!
Showmanship Classes Tuesdays 8 pm
We are very lucky to have Lori Sargent as the coach and co-ordinator for the Showmanship classes. Lori has been involved with dogs and dog competition for over 30 years. She started with obedience training and trials and moved into showing as a teen. She has shown many different breeds. Her first breed to show was bloodhound. She breeds German wirehaired pointers and also has a wirehaired dachshund. She has been teaching conformation handling classes for about 15 years and has been handling professionally for about 10 years. Our location.
