Erin L McClurg-Webster
Professional Dog Handler
972-679-0312
I have been showing dogs since the age of 8. I was the #1 Labrador Junior handler and qualified for the garden for several years. Upon entering college, I decided I wanted to continue to show dogs and several people asked me to show for them. That began my endeavor on showing dogs for other people! I show because I love it!!!
Career Highlights:
Group 1 Winning
Multiple Group Placings
Multiple Specialty BOB Winners
Multiple Specialty WD, WB and JAM's
National Specialty WB,BOW, Best Puppy
#1 Labrador Bitch in the US 2002
Top 10 Labrador in the US 2002
Multiple Top 25 Labradors
Multiple Homebred Champions as well as Client Dogs
When I travel I never take more than I can handle myself. A typical show circuit includes 2-6 dogs that I am showing. I do not take more than 4 large dogs by myself. All dogs are part of my family and home.
I concentrate my efforts on showing Sporting, Hound, Terrier,Working and Herding dogs. I don't show heavily coated breeds. Examples: Toys-Maltese, Havanese, Shih Tzu Etc. Non-Sporting-Chows, Lhasa, etc.
If you have a client dog you would like to add to my gallery of photos, please contact me!
