Patty has been showing and training her dogs in conformation, agility, obedience, and scentwork for over 35 years, and is a breeder of Flatcoat Retrievers. She was a groomer for many years and a vet assistant, leaving the field for awhile after earning her Bachelor’s degree to work as a Caseworker with domestic violence victims and with people with severe mental illness. Patty is happy to be back though.

Patty enjoys her time with her husband, 3 adult children and her animals. She currently has a Golden Retriever, a  Flatcoat Retriever, an Irish Red and White Setter and 2 cats.
