My friends call me D- please do. I am a a dog nut. I am also a huge Springsteen fan, an avid reader and an artist.

Wahoo was my Alaskan Malamute. We lost him to bloat three years ago, I use his name as a tribute. He was a once-in-a-lifetime dog. I still miss him. Anyway, that's why the username.

Currently we have a Mal named Dodge. He is a handful. Actually more my DH's buddy. I am just "The Mom".

I am considering a Cocker Spaniel. Looking to relearn lots of breed information, thinking of a companion for fun competition. Conformation, maybe obedience, rally and agility or some combination.

I have years of hands on professional kennel experience- working for professional handlers, breeders and an AKC judge, as well as managing a boarding and training facility. Have been away from it for over 10 years but I still have the passion.

I appreciate all breeds. Malamutes and cockers happen to be my favorites. I love cats, though I cannot own one.

I'm looking forward to meeting some great people with fresh perspectives!
