About The Author

I am an AKC judge, approved for mastiffs. I have been involved with the breed for 18 years, and currently have 11 mastiffs and 3 English setters, all living together in our home. My husband, David, will apply to judge mastiffs. David and I have a son, Adam. We share our "full" house with 4 guinea pigs, 4 cats, and 4 birds.

The Hagey's exhibit under the "Foxglove" prefix, and have finished many champions as well as several obedience titles. We have bred and owned top-ranked dogs in the breed, as well as Hall of Fame producers, multiple Collar Award winners, multiple group placers, MCOA top-producing brood bitch, medical assistance dogs and working therapy dogs. We bred and co-owned the first all-breed High in Trial mastiff. We have also taken High in Trial at the MCOA National Specialty twice. We feel that a dog should be well rounded in every possible way, and our dogs are always owner-handled.

I am currently the chairperson for the MCOA Judges and Breeders Education Committee. I judged the 1996 MCOA Futurity in St. Louis, and the 1995 MCOA Breeder's Cup in Nashville. I judged the MCOA/REMC Supported Entry at Del Valle Kennel Club.

The Hageys are also involved with the English setter community, and we have been active members of an all-breed kennel club from the beginning of our involvement in purebred dogs. We are founding members of the Pacific Northwest Mastiff Fanciers.
