About

A lifelong animal lover whose journey with dogs and animals has taken me from a pet-filled childhood in Bristol to a dog walking mountain life in rural Wales. After an early start showing dogs up to Crufts and bonding with every creature I met (from stickleback fish to small furries to show ponies), my adult life has been just as animal-focused. Ive cared for and owned countless breeds — from Pomeranians, Rottweilers, and Setters to a majestic Boerboel — regularly stepping in to help friends, family, and even strangers in need.

As a trustee for the charity, Refuge4Pets, I supported survivors of domestic abuse by fostering their pets, transporting animals to safety, and raising funds through dog shows. I have also been a safe haven for rescue cats and dogs, all while juggling a full house of my own beloved animals.

My heart dog, Shadow the Weimaraner, was by my side for over 14 years, and the bond we shared still guides me today. Now, with my next Weimaraner, two Labradors, and five rescue cats, I am living my dream on 8 acres of Welsh mountainside — training and competing in working gundog tests.

Whether Im out in the field, snuggled up with my cats, or feeding wild red kites from our garden, my life is built around compassion, connection, and canine companionship.
