Diana as a handler

I have only recently begun my handling career, but enjoy it so much. My first handling experience other than owner handling was with a Mastiff named Ryder, owned and bred by Patti Gropetti. Patti found me at a local show and asked if I would mind taking a dog in the ring for her if need be. I said sure. After Patti took Winners with him, I then took him in for the breed. We were pointed to for Best of Winners. Since the bitches made the major that day, so did Ryder! It was so exciting for both Patti and I! He needed that major and I was there to help! I liked that feeling so much that I want to work to provide that for others.

I am capable of handling all breeds, but have the most experience in Boxers and Australian Shepherds. I have also shown a Mastiff, Beagle, and a Bedlington Terrier. I am assisted in grooming and ringside by my husband, Josh and occasionally my mother, Sally. We all have a blast with dogs and would love to show your dog for you. Please contact us if you would like our services.
