About Kelly
I've had a lifelong love for all animals,
especially dogs and horses. As a young girl,
my parents gave me an Alaskan Malamute,
Kavik. He was a wonderful dog, and
somehow we survived obedience classes,
even graduated! In my school years, I
competed with hunter/jumper horses. I
loved the thrill of entering the showring and
competing with my equine partner. From
spending my days in the barn, I was
introduced to Jack Russell terriers. In 1995

my good friend Karen Fitzpatrick gave me my
first JRT, Bailey. Both Karen and another
| friend, Dana Pike, were already involved in dog agility, so naturally I was drawn to the sport. Bailey and I were hooked at our first class! This game gave me the thrill of showjumping, with my dog as a teammate. Since those early years I have been blessed to compete with (and titled) four dogs from three of the AKC Groups, one of which was a very challenging rescue Malinois. My dogs and I have competed all over the country,earned our way to the Final Round in both the AKC and USDAA Nationals, and we've even been on National TV numerous times! But, most importantly, we've made so many friends and had so much fun along the way! |
