I've had dogs as far back as I can remember. I won my first Junior Showmanship class with an Afghan Hound when I was 6 years old. I bred Whippets for 32 years in the United States and England.
In 2009 I purchased my first Golden Retriever with the help of Julie Wangelin. Shortly thereafter I bought Rookie who I went on to win a First Place at the 2012 Golden Retriever National and he was my first Grand Champion.
I have had the good fortune of being around many top dogs and have bred several champion whippets. I have only recently bred some litters of Golden Retrievers. I have a Raya Golden Retrievers Facebook Group where they interact and learn.
