About Verjean

Verjean has been involved with dogs, literally, her whole life.  Her father had Boxers and Cocker Spaniels when she was growing up, and she got her “own” dog at the age of seven.  That dog named “Cougar”, a little mixed breed, was to live until the age of nineteen and was her first experience in dog training!

Verjean has a varied background in dogs, having trained in Obedience, Schutzhund, Therapy, Field, Conformation, and most recently, Freestyle Obedience (doggie dancing). She has experience with several breeds, and has owned German Shepherd Dogs, Shar-Pei, Bearded Collies, Old English Sheepdogs, Weimaraners, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Great Danes, Chinese Pugs and Toy Manchester Terriers.  She has been honored to be the emcee for the “Dancing With The Dogs” show presented at the Texas State Fair.  She is heavily involved in both the “sport” and the “joy” of dogs and proudly lists among her current associations.

Trinity Vally Weimaraner Club – President
Dallas Fort Worth Toy Dog Club - President, Show Chair
Greater Collin Kennel Club – President, Show Chair
Lone Star State Classic (two all-breed show events per year) – Committee

Verjean now devotes most of her time to coaching, training, and supporting new exhibitors to conformation dog shows.  She long ago saw a need for both young green dogs, and new inexperienced owners/handlers/exhibitors, to have someplace to learn in a nuturing environment. She also feels it's important to contribute to the ongoing success of shows and events in the area, and is involved in the adminstration of said events.
