  • Cheryl Carter

    Cheryl Carter is the owner and operator of Candy’s Canines as well as being the instructor for the all the levels of agility classes.

    In 1992 Cheryl Carter was looking for something fun to do with her mixed breed dog Wishes. Back then most dog sports (Obedience, Tracking, etc.) were for purebred dogs only. That’s when Cheryl found the sport of agility. And from then on she was hooked!

  • Ron Bidstrup

    Ron has been involved with Obedience since April of 1998 when he took his 12 week old GSD puppy Lexi to a puppy class for what appeared to be a ten week class.

    One puppy class turned into a ten week beginner class. That turned into a five week Intermediate class. That turned into an continuing advanced class which eventually led Ron and Lexi to their first CD Obedience title. Now this all led right into their second GSD, Anya, whom Ron got as a rescue at age four.
