I was born and reared in Japan until I was in 3rd grade, so I speak simple Japanese. After Japan my family moved to Hawai’i and I lived there for sixteen years. I met my husband in college and we served in ministry together 43 years before the Lord called him home, including 34 years in the DC area with a church and school. We have four children and thirteen grandchildren. Our family bred, whelped and raised show Collies while living in Northern Virginia. I am familiar with much of the workings of raising puppies to prepare them for their Forever Homes. I know this past experience will contribute to my new venture as a trainer with Crockett Doodles. I’m excited to be a part of this amazing group.
