Karen Hunt

Karen Hunt started showing dogs in 1982 when she started with Siberian huskies. Since then she has shown in both obedience and conformation, and has handled, trained, and titled many breeds in conformation, from papillons to great Danes. She has been teaching conformation classes for fifteen years, and at one time was Director of Conformation Training for a 400+ member, multi-site obedience club. In addition to teaching a regular conformation class, Karen particularly enjoys teaching novice handling classes and helping people to discover the joys and challenges of showing their own dogs in conformation dog shows.
