My name is Francine Schrader. I am the owner of Adorybull Groom and Board. I have over seven years of experience in boarding and grooming animals professionally, and previously worked for five years as a groomer in a local Veterinary Hospital. I am certified in grooming sporting and non-sporting breeds, although, I am capable of grooming any breed of dog or cat. I am certified in pet CPR. I continue to provide top quality services to you and your pet by attending classes on pet safety and their welfare. Your pet will be happy to visit "Camp Adorybull" as they are treated as if they were my own.
I have been involved with dogs my entire life. My father went to
field trials with his bird dogs and my earliest memories are of
getting soaking wet but enjoying every minute of these competitions.
I started grooming at 14 for our local veterinarian who also showed
English Springer Spaniels and began going to dog shows with him. I
was in my local 4h dog club and did very well in their obedience
program.
I got married had children and was not in dogs and began using my
degree in accounting but dogs were in my blood and I slowly began
going to UKC dog shows and watching the conformation classes. I
acquired my first show dog and although it took me several years I
finished this dog and went on to put a CD on him too. By this time I
was really hooked. I began handling dogs for some of my other
clients and finished or put points on 3 poodles toy and miniature ,
one Ibezian Hound and got my first malamute Can. CH Barrenfield Top
Gun aka Tuffy. I went on to finish 6 AKC Champions and 8 Can
Champions. And traveled with Bill Saloff to many shows. While
traveling with Bill I got experience handling everything from
Siberian Huskies to Tibetan Spaniels . I went to dog shows every
week end and groomed and assisted several handlers in my area. My
best win was a BSS for Lauri Hicks and her Wonderful dog Ch. Tessa’s
Sir Charles. Six puppies that I bred have gone onto championships
with their new owners.
I also organized and set up a complete obedience program for
Hillsdale county 4H and this is one of the most successful programs
in the state with the majority of the kids achieving state placings
and many going on to AKC and UKC titles. I have a true passion for
everything dog.
Your pet's wellbeing and safety is our top priority.
