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

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!
