Deb (Girvin) is owned by three golden retrievers, ‘Bailiff’ OTCH CH, RE (Caro), ‘Beamer’ CH CDX and ‘Trip’.  She lives in Cranbrook BC and discovered her love for competition obedience when Bailiff came into her life almost 12 years ago.  She lived in the Cariboo at the time and was fortunate to have two experienced people in the local kennel club that took her under their wing. Her dogs are all owner/trained/handled.  Bailiff was finished in the breed ring and an OTCH by the age of 3.   Bailiff retired one leg short of his OTCHX. 

Although Deb has never had the luxury of having a ‘trainer’, she have been fortunate to have excellent mentors, all of whom have shown their dogs through GMOTCH.  She has also had working spots in numerous seminars:

• Ian Dunbar – ( participated in an APDT Conference and attended many workshops, including Ian Dunbar’s
• Brenda Aloff – Dealing with Aggressive Dogs  www.brendaaloff.com
• Sandra Ladwig – (from Missouri) – seminar at TNT Kennels Abbotsford
• Bridget Carlsen (www.bridgetcarlsen.com)

• Marie Sawford – CKC Rally Judge/Author
• Donna Brinkworth – Urban Tracking (www.spiritdancedogs.com)
• Shannon Sheer (handling)
• Janice Gunn www.tntkennels.com Deb is fortunate to hold a working spot in Janice’s annual obedience camp in Abbotsford.  Beamer and she were also chosen for a segment in Janice’s most recent DVD - “Problem Solving”)
• She has  also had private lessons with Janice Gunn, Cathy Stoner and Ward Falkner www.wardfalkner.com
