I purchased my first Doberman in 1975 and I have been involved with the breed since. I joined the DPCA in 1977. I have belonged to both the Doberman Pinscher Club of the Rocky Mountain Area and the Greater Kansas City Doberman Pinscher Club. I became an AKC licensed handler in 2000, and for the last 25 years I have bred Dobermans under the kennel name Ciden in a partnership with Mona Fasth , DVM of Gallant Dobermans. Together we have produced over 130 champions, including three consecutive DPCA Grand Prize Futurity winners.

I have been married to Dennis for 50 years. Together, for the last 35 of those years, we have owned and operated Huckfeldt Trucking , where I served as the secretary/treasurer of the corporation. We have since sold the company.

I believe we all need to be united as Doberman owners whatever interests we have. All aspects of the Doberman are important and must come from one standard, a standard that I believe must not change.

I feel it is important to keep an open mind and consider all opinions. It is very important to use common sense for decision making within the DPCA. My reason for running is very simple, to protect and preserve the breed . The only side I am on, is the side of the Doberman. For everything the breed has given to me, it is the least I can do for the breed. What needs to be remembered is, none of us is more important than the breed.

I have served as a director of the DPCA for the last 10 years. It has been a very positive learning experience although not always a pleasant one. I have greatly appreciated serving our breed and the people who love the Doberman breed as much as I do.

I do not participate in on-line social networking such as Facebook, Twitter or internet chat lists. However, if anyone has a question please call me directly, I will be happy to answer. My phone number is 307-532-1641. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve.
