I was born into a Boxer family. My parents owned an American Canadian Best In Show dog named Style Setter of Kargot. At an early age I would rather play with the Boxers than a lot of the children. When I was eight years old I showed my first show dog "Lulu" and I caught the show bug.

I worked for many handlers and for five years I worked for Alvin and Ruth Lee, which was all a great learing experience. I have bred, owned, and handled many Best In Show dogs in Canada. I am still very active in breeding and showing Boxers.

I try to attend the American Boxer Club National Specialty every year for which I have shown many Boxers. My first big win at ABC was with Am.Can.Ch.Tradonalee's Touch O' Class where she won Reserve Junior Futurity in the 1980's. Also noted handling Ch.Shieldmont's Issues and Answers to Best of Winners at ABC in 1985 for friends Richard and Chris Baum.

Some of my Boxer Highlights were showing our 8 year old, Can.Ch.Wylwin's Cinderella of Tradonalee DOM to Best of Opposite from the Veteran classes at the Regoinal cluster shows. "Cindy" was awarded two more Best of Opposites from the veterans class.

We purchased Can.Am.Bda.Ch.Carlon's Classy Catrina DOM who went on to win several Canadian Best In Shows. As well as a Best In Show from the classes to complete her Ameriacn title and then a Best to complete her Bermuda title. This is when my parents turned over the breeding of Tradonalee Boxers to me.

Since then Can.Ch.Tradonalee's Classic Sensation completed his Sire of Merit in both Canada and the United States. Dogs noted of finishing in the US most recently are Am.Can.Ch.Tradonalee's Toush O' Class, Am.Cdn.Ch.Tradonalee's Olympic Spirit, and most recent Am.Can.Ch.Tradonalee's JaCinda Teohlin.

I have handled many boxers to their titles in Canada and the USA from juniors on up. I have judge many All Breed Puppy Sweepstakes and American Specialty Grand Sweepstakes.
