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.
