Originally with a background in the airline industry a change of career led to setting up a career in the Pet care business in 2003. Growing up with dogs it wasn’t until 2000 , I trained my first dog, a Bichon Frise in dog agility. Having had allergies I decided to keep with a non-moulting breed and after meeting my first Lagotto at an agility show I eventually became owned by my first Lagotto Cia in 2004. I now compete at championship level in agility with Cia, with her daughter Anto following on closely behind. I run my own agility club www.dizdogz.co.uk and am an Agility Club approved instructor (First Class). Cia has been an agility finalist several times at Crufts over the years and most recently competed at the Discover Dogs  Medium ABC semi-final at Earls Court. I have shown in the UK and abroad but prefer to take a back seat and enjoy grooming Lagotto for either maintenance or show trim. Cia has also been a PAT dog for the last two years and regularly visits a local care home.
