DIRECTOR: Linda Stevens (West)
I have lived in Saskatchewan all my life but didn’t have a personal dog friend until I left home and was working in the city. Our first breed was the Springer Spaniel.
I got my first Coton De Tulear in 2003, and I quickly knew it was the breed for me. I got my second Coton in 2011, another one in 2012 and a breeding prospect in 2014.
Working towards developing a strong breed association for the betterment of our breed is my greatest desire. Part of my responsibility will also be to educate and support the public about the pure dog breeds recognized by the Canine Federation of Canada. That is why I have chosen to serve on the CFC board as a western director.
