Stanley and I met our first Wire Fox Terrier in 1993.  My father, who was disabled with Parkinson’s Disease, needed a dog to love.  We found a little Wire in Garland, Texas, bred by Rhonda McCoy.  We housetrained and crate trained her for my dad.  She won our hearts.                                             

Rhonda took us to our first dog show and the rest, as they say, is history.   We bought our first wire, Andi, from Rhonda.  She helped us learn the basics of hand stripping and we were off and running.

Since that time, we have worked very hard to earn the AKC Championships on 10 of our own Wires.  We started professionally handling dogs in 2003 and have earned championships on numerous Wires and Irish Terriers for our clients. 

Stanley is a full time groomer.  He grooms all breeds for both pet and show.  He offers hand-stripping for all broken coated and wire-haired breeds.  He has been in this business full time for over 4 years.  Apart from the dogs, Stanley has a B.A. in Finance.  The dogs don’t ask him to count very often these days though!

 I also groom all breeds, although my specialty is hand-stripping broken-coated breeds for show.  I am also a teacher and have been for 25 years.  I have a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. in Biology.   

We adore Wire Fox Terriers and Irish Terriers.  Dog hair is a given in our house!!  The only vacations we take are to dog shows.  We don’t go anywhere if we can’t take the dogs.  All of our vehicles are tailored to accommodate crates.  We took them with us to the dealership to make sure of a perfect fit before we signed the paperwork!
