Marie is married with two grown up children, two granddaughters and an elderly father. She retired from work when she had her second child so she could dedicate her life to her family and dogs.

Marie has had dogs all her life and grew up with her maternal grandfather breeding greyhounds. Her paternal grandparents always had dogs. GSD’s, Pointers, and a Heinz 57 stray.

Marie has owned a Jack Russell, two GSD’s, a Collie, a Springer Spaniel, a Doberman, a Great Dane and four Labradoodles. She has only ever had a 1 year gap without dog.

Marie takes her dogs to agility and fly ball and also an obedience training class. She also takes them swimming at a local doggy swimming pool.

Marie is currently waiting to start an Animal Behaviour course in September.
