Introduction
I
began showing dogs in 1989, starting out in junior
handling as a “PeeWee”; some years
later breeding Golden Retrievers and Pugs with
my mother under the Corum prefix. We have produced
champions in both Canada and the US.
I
have “freelance” assisted many handlers
including Ellen Cottingham, Bruce and Gretchen
Schultz, Heidi Gervais and others. I thank them
for the opportunities they have given me and their
assistance in learning grooming techniques for
various breeds including Golden Retrievers, Springer
Spaniels, Bullmastiffs, English and Irish Setters
and PBGV’s to name a few.
In
2002 I was given a wonderful opportunity to “special”
a dog in Canada, BIS Can Am Ch Laureate Gracious
King Lear, who was one of Canada’s top goldens
for the year. In addition, I finished championships
on ten dogs in 2002 as well as pointing several
others.
In
2003 I specialled both a Golden Am Can Ch Corum's
Double or Nothing SDHA (aka Player) and a Pug,
BISS Am Can Ch Moonstruck's Blue Suedeshoes(aka
Elvis). Player is one of Canada's top 5 Goldens
and attained his Show Dog Hall of Fame. Elvis
not only turned 1 this year but finished his Canadian
and American Championships and is Canada's #2
pug as well. In 2004 with limited showing a Pug
he was #2 Pug in Canada. In 2005 Golden Retriever,
Am Can Ch Karagold Let's Be Happy was the #1 Golden
Retriever in Canada as well as a top sporting
dog and Pugs, Am Can Ch Moonstruck's Blue Suedeshoes
HIC and Am Can Ch Sugarbear's Out of the Blue
both were top 5 pugs in Canada.
In
2006 BIS Am Can Ch Sugarbear's Flamingstar O'Harada
was the number 1 pug in Canada and went on to
win the breed and a Group 3 at Westminster in
Feburary 2007. What a thrill this was for both
myself, the breeder and the owners.
Between
2003 and 2006 I finished more than 50 Canadian
Championships as well as pointing many others.
I also finished many American Champions and pointed
several others including majors
In
February 2007 I attended the Westminster Kennel
Club Dog Show in New York. There I won the breed
in pugs and a Group 3 with BIS BISS Am Can Ch
Sugarbear Flamingstar O'Harada. It was a very
tough breed ring with the Number 2 Toy and top
3 pugs in the US, the group was very tough with
top US winners.
I
live on acreage in South Langley that is fully
fenced with secure runs and exercise areas.
