Welcome to Hightide Handling

Welcome to my handling website. I began my involvement with show dogs in 2002, when I purchased my first show Australian Shepherd, and showing him was merely a hobby. As I began apprenticing under some extremely skilled and knowledgable handlers, my love for the sport grew into something more. I was not "brought up" into this business, it is simply a born passion. I have handled over 40 breeds, in all seven groups. I have put multiple major wins, best of breeds on multiple dogs and group placements & group win on my Australian Shepherd special, and brought many to their championships in both AKC and ASCA. I handle all breeds, while specializing in Australian Shepherds.

NEWS: I AM CURRENTLY CONSIDERING A FULL TIME AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD SPECIAL FOR THE 2010 YEAR. Please contact me for more information.

I am a proud and active member of the following clubs:

United States Australian Shepherd Association
Australian Shepherd Club of America
Australain Shepherd Club of New England
American Brittany Club
Cape Cod Kennel Club
