I started out my life with dogs as a conformation exhibitor showing and breeding Standard
Schnauzers, under the Tender Touch prefix. I showed seven Standard Schnauzers to their
Championships which included multiple group placements and many specialty wins.Two of my
Standard Schnauzers ranked in the Top 10 for the breed in the U.S. All breeder/owner/handled.
In a short period of time I realized that my; fuzzy-faces possessed brains along with their beauty,
so I ventured into the obedience ring.
