My parents, Dr. Daniel Horn and Janet P. Horn, originally lived on Staten Island, and I went to training classes and showed in Children’s Handling. I titled my first Chesapeake Bay Retriever in Conformation and Obedience in the early 1960s. From Staten Island, we moved to New Jersey where I lived during high school and college, and then married. In New Jersey, I belonged to the Bayshore Companion Dog Club (Lifetime Member), and also to the, now defunct, Monmouth County Kennel Club. I currently belong to Salisbury Maryland KC and to my parent club, the American Chesapeake Club (Lifetime Achievement Award) where I have served as AKC Delegate, Board Member, Specialty Show Chair, and am currently the Judges Education Coordinator and Chair of the Judges Breeder Education Committee. We retired to the Eastern Shore of Virginia 22 years ago. We are on a tidal creek that goes directly to the Chesapeake Bay, nestled between the Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on 21 acres. I like to say that we brought our dogs “back to their roots.”
