              Both Jimmy and Mary have resided in the Central Florida area over thirty years.  Mary originally from Wisconsin, a Green Bay Packers Fan of course, but does not care for cheese all that much.  Mary was a highly valued Administrative Assistant and Technical Proof Reader, for many years, with a large Electrician Training and Electrical Code Book/Manual Publisher prior to meeting Jimmy. 

              Jimmy, after serving in the U.S.M.C., attended both college and Law School in the Northwest then came to Florida where he continued advancing his education in order to specialize in Investment Banking, Mortgage Banking, Stocks, Bonds, Securities and the Financial World.  After passing the various exams, Jimmy was, a successful Investment Banker, Stock Broker, Securities Principle, Tax Consultant and Mortgage Broker.

              Two of their children now live in Florida and the other in Indiana.  Both Jimmy and Mary have always had a way with dogs and other animals, including horses, with Jimmy having started in the obedience ring and GSD over thirty years ago and Mary, beginning with Goldens in the seventies, then moving into Yorkies.  Many years ago Mary became excited by the beauty of a Havanese that they were handling for clients in Missouri.  Mary quickly purchased her first Havanese and the rest is history, with Mary now a nationally known and highly regarded breeder and exhibitor of Quality Havanese.  

              Although having been around the Dog Show Rings since the late sixties, Jimmy became nationally recognized in the eighties as a well known breeder and exhibitor of the Shar-Pei, helping to bring the Chinese Shar-Pei into acceptance by AKC.  Jimmy completed grooming classes and began to handle for clients plus present his own Shar-Pei as he decided to leave his profession and began to establish himself as an All Breed Professional Handler.  In the Nineties, Jimmy and Mary met and married, with many of those that have known Jimmy for a long while, attesting to Mary having turned him into a fairly nice guy, with �People Skills�.

              Jimmy and Many are both exceptional Professional All Breed Dog Handlers and Groomers, attending well over one hundred AKC Dog Shows yearly, traveling to many and various cities and states presenting All Breeds of Dogs for clients located throughout the USA and a few from other countries as well.
