About The Trainer :
Kasey Von Engel
Dogs have always been my life. I was born into a dog show family, So I have been showing dogs since I was 4 Years old. After high school I finished several champions as well as began working for numerous handlers to learn additional breeds. A few years later, I began handling other breeds for people and eventually transitioned into all-breed Handler, focusing mainly on Working & Sporting breeds. One of the most successful dogs I have shown was a dog my mother and I bred & owned together. AKC Grand Champion Gold Von Engels Designated Driver from Indian Hill. He was a top Berner for 2 consecutive years and won Back to back Best of breeds at the prestigious Westminster kennel Club as well as the National championship presented by Royal Canin.
