First off thank you for checking out my website!

How I got started....

I first got involved with the breed through a local breeder. I would often work for her helping take care of litter boxes, grooming cats, helping with births, bottle feeding kittens, etc. I adopted my first sphynx from her and fell in love with the breed. Years later I am now carrying on the line and she has retired from breeding. The cattery that she ran was Flyingcats and when I took over I changed the name to Peachkins. If you look back into the pedigrees of many sphynx you will find the Flyingcat name. This line of cats was around well before the breed was even registered in TICA. I am very honored to carry on this line and have a deep respect for all of the work that was put in by the pioneers of the breed.

So I'm an all around animal lover....

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Idaho in the neuroscience program. The focus of my dissertation is on behavior, specifically looking at the reproductive and aggression circuitry.

I also run my own training, behavior and pet sitting company, The Good Pup. I currently have 3 employees that aid in pet sitting and training classes. I specialize in behavior problems, both dog and cat. I also run obedience classes through a local veterinary clinic.

I love being around animals and I love helping animals and hope to make them my life's work!

In addition to my cats I share my house with Buddy and Bokeem. Buddy is a Golden Retriever that came from the local pound and is now a therapy dog. He works with me to help socialize other dogs. Bokeem "the big guy" is a Tibetan Mastiff rescue that I took in a few years ago. He is the silent aloof type who has way too much going on upstairs for a dog. Bokeem is also the protector of the kitties and when no one is looking he likes to get in a little snuggling.
