Kaitie has been involved with dogs since the day she was born. Her family raised hunting CKC reg'd Golden Retrievers and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. She did her first obedience class when she was 7 and has been hooked ever since. Her heart still lies with Goldens but now belongs to the Bernese Mountain Dog which she currently owns two. She did limited showing for two years (focusing on obedience and rally) But is now ready to take on the big leagues in the conformation ring! Kaitie is eager to grow and learn about showing and conditioning by apprenticing with Katrina and her Team! She's ready for any challenge and jumped at the opportunity to learn from the best and become the best.
