I live in an historic mid 19th cen- tury farmhouse, located in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, with my husband, eight dogs and six cats. Outside of dogs I enjoy gar- dening, furniture making, and painting. I have been in dogs for 40 years and have been judging for 30 of those years. KARI LOKEN I live in Centennial, Colorado. I am a program manager for a small national non-profit medical prac- tice transformation organization called HealthTeamWorks based in Colorado.

I have been showing dogs since I was 15 years old, which is a very long time ago! I started with English Cock- ers and then later English Setters. I came to this country in 1976 and after a while worked for some top Terrier handlers in California. We moved to the East coast about 30 years ago and ran a boarding kennel. I did handle for
