Stephanie Hunt Crowley started to show the puppies from her first litter as a teenager in England. She was also one of the original breeders who introduced the American Cocker Spaniel to the UK before relocating to the United States. She gained approval from the KC to award CCs in the UK and subsequently judged the breed there and in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Stephanie has written for breed and all-breed magazines, as well as general interest publications, and now lives in France.
