It seems that some things are just meant to be.
"I was at a show in San Antonio, Texas, showing Fox Terriers and I found out that Peter Green
was looking for an assistant who already had experience showing, and grooming. By this time,
I had worked with handlers in Mexico and was showing and teaching handling seminars. I
jumped at the opportunity to work with Peter. The only problem was that I was 18 years old
and required to serve in the army, so I couldn't leave Mexico.
"I believe it was on of those things that was meant to be because 10 years later, I got the
chance to work with Peter again, and it all worked out. Apprenticing with Peter Green was a
wonderful opportunity. I admire him so much, he understands what a dog should look like
because he met many of the breeders who were the architects behind many of today's breeds.
"I think the best way to learn to be a handler is to apprentice with one. They can pass on to
you all their experience. If you want to be a good handler, it's very important to understand the
breed you are showing. You have to learn to recognize a good dog- this will help you choose
the best dogs to show."
For him it's all about getting in sync with world-class dogs.
"Being a handler takes up all your time. It takes a lot of work and dedication. The best part
about showing is the relationship you build with the dogs. It's very exciting to work with a dog..
to become a team... and really enjoy being out in the ring together."
