Mrs. Donna Ernst

I have been actively involved in breeding and exhibiting Golden Retrievers for more than 40 years under my kennel name, Anthem Kennel. Throughout my years in the sport, I have also had the privilege of breeding and exhibiting Smooth Fox Terriers. I have been fortunate to own Conformation and Performance dogs each of whom has brought tremendous joy, fulfillment, and pride to my life. Professionally, I enjoyed a 35 year career as a Cardiac Perfusionist, working at the largest and most prestigious medical center in the country. My career in medicine was both challenging and deeply rewarding. Being in the center of the show ring, evaluating outstanding dogs, recognizing the qualities that define each breed, and contributing to the sport that I have loved for more than four decades that is my true passion. I feel incredibly fortunate to continue giving back to the sport that has given me so much.
