Hi, I am Pauline, better known these days as Wiltshire Pauline
I have a very kind and misused husband, four children who have wisely left the nest. (No longer available for emergency kennel duties). A mum who is allergic to fur and some very good friends who share my love of dogs.
My address has changed on a regular basis to accommodate my husbands work but have managed to own and run a Boarding Kennel & Cattery for nine years. At this time my own breeding and Show stock increased to, at its peak 35 Chow Chows, 15 Tibetan Spaniels and 7 West Highland White Terriers, two ponies and an American Cocker. As well as two dozen hens, five Siamese Cats and a moggie. Quite a household.
During this time I have served on the Scottish Utility Breeds Club Committee and several Chow Chow Club's Committees and was the Secretary of the Chow Chow Club of Scotland until a move to the South of England made it impossible to continue. I also helped in the early stages with the formation of the Chow Chow Breed Council becoming the interim secretary for two years. I am still the Breed Council delegate for the Chow Chow Club of Scotland and the Chow Judges Training Scheme. Whilst in Scotland I was actively involved in Scottish Chow Rescue and still help out where I can.
I Judge Chow Chows at Championship Level and Tibetan Spaniels at Open Level. I have also had the opportunity to Judge the Utility Group on a number of occasions which I find very enjoyable but hard work.
I presently have 6 Chow Chows, every colour except cream, 14 Tibetan Spaniels who are as varied in colour as they are in manner but all delightful, 3 Siamese cats and amazingly still have a husband!!
These days I am busy learning more about animal ethology, why animals behave in the way they do. I hope to become a behavioural counsellor and to develop my PetEtiquette Training Classes, teaching petulant pups to become more sociable.
Details of my latest venture can be seen on PetEtiquette page.
Please enjoy meeting my dogs, past and present and some of their offspring, of which we are very proud.
Pauline.
