Prior to this she was involved with horses for over 10 years. Ellen lives on the shores of Lake Huron so her dogs spend lots of time swimming and retrieving. In addition to her Fishercreek Flat-Coat Shady, Ellen also has a wonderful Border Collie, Tess, who she also enjoys training. Shady has already completed her Canadian CDX in Obedience and is working towards her OTCH.
