Peggy was born in a dog-oriented family. At the age of five her family got involved in show dogs, an activity she still practices. At that time she had American Cocker Spaniels and Wirehaired Fox Terriers. Later on she bred Dalmatians, Basset Hounds and Whippets. She doesn't breed currently as her work (Architect) doesn't provide her with much free time, but she has two registered Bassets from a very reputable breeder in Canada.
Peggy belongs to the FCM, which is the National Kennel Club in Mexico affiliated to the FCI. She has been an All Breeds Judge since 1989. She has judged in most of the Latin American Countries, USA, Canada and Australia. (Melbourne Royal Show 1995/8) Last year she judged at the World Show held in Mexico City and the Latin American and Caribbean Show held in Quito, Ecuador.
