"My personal philosophy about canine freestyle: Its all about the dog.
As handlers, we are there to frame the dog and help her look her best.
I feel that this should be a sport that the average dog and owner can
take part in successfully. Canine Freestyle should present our dogs in
a way that is not demeaning or overshadows these wonderful creatures but
that celebrates everything that makes them so special."
