Joyce Carelli got her start in dogs in 1980 with the purchase of a Standard Poodle as a pet. Her prior experience in showing horses led her to the world of dog shows, an area that she still loves and participates in actively. She has bred many Poodle champions in all size varieties over the years and has handled most of her own dogs to their titles. After a brief start in obedience and then a switch to conformation, she found field work about 15 years ago. Since her dogs seemed to love working in the field, she has continued training them as soon as they are retired from the show ring. Titles earned on her dogs include CH, NA (agility), CGC, WC, WCX, JH and SH. Joyce has served as Recording Secretary of the Board of Directors of Poodle Club of America since 2010 and has recently assumed the role of Standard Representative on the Board. She is a member of Orlando Poodle Club, having served as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer over the course of many years since 1980. She is also a member of Central Florida Hunting Retriever Club and Cherokee Foothills Hunting Retriever Club. As a past member of Orlando Dog Training Club, she taught weekly conformation classes for about 10 years with some of the class attendees achieving honors as high as Best In Show.
