Kerry is happy to meet new people and their pets. Having been an animal lover since she could remember, Kerry grew up as a horse crazy kid, spending every opportunity she could at the barn. After leaving for UConn where she earned a degree from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, her interest shifted to dogs, and training and showing became her passion. She has earned titles on dogs in conformation, obedience, water rescue work, and draft work. After college, she worked as a vet tech in addition to many other caretaking jobs involving animals. Later this turned into grooming and breeding the occasional litter of puppies. Kerry has owned many dogs including an Old English Sheepdog, Golden Retriever, Newfoundland, and many Shelties. Kerry is active in her dog clubs, Tri-State Shetland Sheepdog Club where she has served as Treasurer, Vice President, President, and board member. Kerry shares her home with her family and Shelties (Truman and Mosey) and Siberian Cats (Phinneas and Chloe). She also loves cooking and gardening and spending time with her family and friends [citation].
