Marina loves nothing more than handling dogs in the show ring. In fact, in her spare time, this is what she enjoys most about being involved in dog shows. She has been fortunate enough to show some high quality dogs and has been handling breeds across the gundog, utility, working, hound and pastoral groups and has won CCs in the following breeds: Border Collie, Beagle, Basset Fauve De Bretagne, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and Dalmatian.
She has also handled these and many other breeds to RCCs, BOBs and group placings. Here are a few photos of just some of the successes she’s had handling for other people.
