Carol had a great love for dogs and was a breeder for many years. Her passion was focused on the working breeds, specifically German Shepherds and Rottweilers. Her accomplishments in the “dog world” were widespread and included Best of Shows, group placements and many Best of Breeds. Carol was also active in the rescue community and often fostered dogs in need of a good temporary home. She mentored many people in the dog community and will be missed by all.
She leaves behind her beloved Rottweiler companions, Faith and Bert.
