Welcome to Tralee Kennels, situated in Walpole, MA. I have been involved with dogs for the past 16 years, starting in Junior Showmanship. I was bit by the dog show bug while taking private obedience lessons with my first Boston Terrier. My trainer told me about an upcoming match, so I went. With myself and my dog not knowing what to expect, we went to have fun. I ended up winning my Junior's class and took Best puppy in Breed. That was it, I was hooked. While in jr's, I went to work for Candy Carswell to learn more about presentaion and grooming. After jr's I took a few years off for college and was handling occasionally while in school. I have pointed and finished dogs in the Sporting, Non-Sporting, Working and Terrier groups.
I only take a few dogs every weekend to shows, generally not more than 6 including my own. I like to be able to spend time with all of the dogs that I am showing, and by limiting the numbers I feel the dogs get more personalized attention.
