Shadanatam Belgian Shepherd Dogs
Belgian
Tervuren and Groenendael
I have been an animal lover
all of my life, much to the chagrin of my family at times. I was always
bringing home strays, and lost or injured animals.
I started riding lessons
when I was 9 or 10 and that took over my life until my early twenties.
Everything revolved around riding, teaching or training horses at
that time.
In 1983 I went to Sunnyslope
Dog Grooming School and worked very hard, putting in extra hours at the
teacher's kennel. I have also worked with several top breeders, handlers
and judges over my early years in grooming, and I appreciate all the
help, and experience they shared with me.
Since then, grooming has
been my career for the most part. I have also been a veterinary
technician, but I found working in the vets a little to hard on my
soft heart as I can't stand to see animals suffering.
I love grooming, it is never
boring, challenging at times, and artistic. I enjoy working with the so
called "bad" dogs that no other groomer will do. I don't
believe there are "bad" dogs, just dogs that have been
mishandled or misunderstood.
I often have rescue dogs in
my care. I think it is an important part of my life. Yes, it can be
expensive, time consuming and sometimes heartbreaking. But, it is
incredibly rewarding when you find that poor abandoned, abused or
mistreated dog his perfect forever home. I have also worked for and
with the SPCA for many years.
I also teach obedience and
puppy classes. This is a very rewarding part of my life also, because I
get to share my experience with others. And, I hope I share some of my
passion; so that others can see what a wonderful thing it is to have a
dog in their life.
I have been owned in the
past by: German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Bullmastiff, and several dogs of
unknown heritage over the years and all hold a special place in my
heart.

The
reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his
tail instead of his tongue.
