The blog

Hi!

As all my friends have been calling me “the crazy dog lady” or more inappropriately “the dog w*nk*r” for years due to my love of dogs and my owning what has become quite a large pack, I decided to own the nickname!

Since the birth of North West Breeding Services (formally North West Pet Scanning), artificial insemination has been one of our main services... so the jokes on everyone else now! I’m literally a dog w*nk*r for a living!

Dogs have been a massive part of my life, particularly bulldogs. I’ve owned them for over 20 years the last decade as part of Pride of Bully Bulldogs with my husband Steve and we now proudly owned 3 UK champions, two of which are home bred.

So I have gained a massive insight into the show, breeding and dog world in general throughout my lifetime... the good and the bad!!
So with my love of writing I decided to create a little blog, in the hopes I could maybe bring some of my experiences for others to learn from (and laugh at). So... #diariesofadogwnkr was born!

Enjoy
