Aušra Šimaitytė & The Dogs: Latvian Winner 2009

Exhibitor

I have shown dogs since 2002. Once tried Junior Handling competition going Reserve in Group but really, i found the conformation rings more interesting. Having first started with my own dogs, i am now showing for the clients too, mainly in the FCI groups III, IV, VIII and IX. We show on a regular basis and attend the most important shows in the country, occassionally making trips in the Baltic area and around. I have always enjoyed my dogs finishing their Championships, placing at Groups as well as Best in Shows, and winning too many Best of Breeds to remember.

Veterinarian

Having a father, the Veterinary medicine Doctor by education, being surrounded by dogs for most of my life and loving all kinds of live creature and nature, it seemed natural of me to become a Veterinarian. During the study years i gained some experience practising abroad and now that i graduated the Veterinary Academy of Lithuania, i am working at one of the clinics in my hometown Kaunas. Being Veterinarian by profession helps me to better understand what dogs are about, their needs and take care of them to their best advantage.
