My husband Roberto and I have four bitches who live with us in Reva, VA: Simone, Georgia, Carly, and Hattie. Ripley lives with my parents, Dana and John, nearby in Alexandria, VA. 

I am grateful to co-own others who live with incredible humans all over the country.

​

In particular, I am forever indebted to my friend and mentor, Gregory Siner, who has devoted 40 years to breeding his Poole's Ide Irish Water Spaniels. Greg's incredible eye and vision for breeding, as well as his generosity in sharing knowledge, time, dogs, and good company have made

Poole's Ide a force to be reckoned with inside and outside the ring.

Simone is the dam of Ripley ('21) & Hattie ('22)

Georgia is the dam of Carly ('22)

 

L to R: Carly, Georgia, Hannah, Simone, Hattie
