TESTIMONIALS

FROM CLIENTS PAST & PRESENT.

 

 

'My  congratulations and thanks to Justin, supported by Dorothea and Danielle ,who have been my inspiration for showing my Miniature Schnauzers, both black & silver and whites, in Europe since April 2010.

Great dogs deserve their place in breed history, and Justin has certainly proved the point with my 'charges', with achieving an International Champion title  and 4 multi Champions Group placings.

My dogs worship Justin, and I sometimes wonder where their loyalties lie?

Only happy dogs will show, and having joined ' the team' on a trip to Bulgaria in May, an experience I will never forget,

Justin' s priority first and foremost is the well being of the dogs that have been placed in his care, so that they can jointly reach their potential in the ring.

Justin's love of dogs runs deep, never happier than preparing/ showing a quality dog or sitting on my kitchen floor playing with puppies!

Together, we are looking forward to a successful 2012, with some interesting youngsters waiting in the wings! '

Dog shows are paradise for me. I show my dogs and I think this is important when you love the dog world.

But I soon realized that things were not so easy, and that competition is often very hard.
My dogs have excellent origins. My first motivation was to showcase their pedigree and to do honor at their ancestors and their respective breeders.

So I have decided to seek a handler, for my Scottish terriers.

Justin was the first and the only to answer me!
My female Peabar Exuberance was the first to go with the Woodhaven showteam:

She returned with several champion titles in no time. At each dog show, where she accompanied the team in Woodhaven, the results were there!
Today, our male Peabar Fire Ball travels with the Woodhaven showteam on all their travel and it is already multi champion.
I am very proud that my dogs are shown by Justin and Dorothea; because I know I could never give them as many victories.

I could never thank them enough, and show them how their dedication to the dogs they handle touched me.

Thank you very much for everything you do and everything you share!

Congratulations for your professionalism!

No title can have more meaning than the wellbeing of my dogs. My dogs shall be treated with respect, love and understanding. Saying this, I never would trust any of my dogs just to anybody calling him/herself a professional handler. There are a lot of people who charge money to take dogs into show rings, however it is only a limited number of people who really deserve to be called professional handler.

Woodhaven has not only finished numerous champion titles with my dogs, but more importantly, they’ve trained my dogs to have fun in the ring. „Showing dogs means loving dogs“. This is the best way to describe the Woodhaven show team. I would always trust them with my dogs.

Many thanks to Justin and Dorothea for showing my dogs and being my friends.
Keep up with your excellent work and your permanent proof that showing dogs is not just a profession.

All the best for the future.

I’d always considered myself a professional handler’s worst nightmare - a stereo typical overanxious owner with a kennel full of blindly devoted dogs which others had tried and failed to handle.

When it was suggested that I send my precious Bouvier “Brad” to Europe with Woodhaven I was horrified and adamant it could never work.

Over the next months I watched as my friends Alaskan Malamute travelled to Europe  with Woodhaven, returning not only hale and hearty, but with an impressive array of super wins and titles and so I was persuaded to release my grip on Brad and let him try a “little trip”.

Brads first European show with Doro and Justin saw him return with an avalanche of Trophies and a big silly grin from ear to ear - and so it has continued.

2009 saw Brad amass numerous titles with Woodhaven, including World Winner, and his bouncing delight in Justin’s company is testament to the excellent treatment and good old-fashioned fun he clearly has whilst in Woodhaven’s care.

Anyone considering placing a dog with Woodhaven can be confident of their dog being presented to its absolute best advantage, by real masters of their game.

They can also be assured that any assessment of their dog will be educated and honest; Woodhaven will not take a dog that can’t win or waste its owner’s hard earned money.

Combine all this with dedication, expert knowledge and a dash of good humored fun and I can heartily recommend Woodhaven. Not only have Woodhaven earned my extremely hard won trust and produced world class results with my dogs, but I count myself fortunate to have gained some lovely friends in the process.

We just want to say “Thank you very much!” again for giving such a wonderful opportunity to have our ADKI Brussels Griffons’ groomed and handled at dog shows by your team in Europe.
 Your work and services on “ Travelling to Dog shows, Grooming, dog socializing & professional handling” was extremely practical, just what we were looking for!

It was very hard for us to allow our dog to part from us, but your knowledge and guiding information certainly provided food for thought on the implication of not being aware of what makes up true professionalism in handling and promoting our breeding stock. We shouldn’t have worried! 

 Your ability to explain about grooming, breeding and handling is exceptional and you have furnished us more than we have agreed.

In addition, your humorous and comfortable attitude was exactly what we needed in order to put our mind at rest that our dog is safe and enjoying his showing career with your team. The feedback we received was extremely positive!

We are delighted that we have had the opportunity to have you as our professional handler.  All the way from a small island, getting my dogs travelling with you has made a dream come true for us!

Working with you is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

What really comes across is that Justin and Dorothea understands dogs and dog people and for that I would recommend the Woodhaven team highly to any dog breeder or owner.

Many, many thanks.

“…...In the early 90’s at a Championship Show; my eyes were focused on an exhibitor in the ring. I was impressed, while watching the professionalism and self assurance of the handler as he was promoting a Chinese Crested, into displaying animation, excitement and happiness in the show ring. They stood out amongst their competitors and were undeniably handed Best of Breed.
This was my first impression of “The Woodhaven Show Team”…..”

I now have entrusted my precious Samoyed boy into the hands of “The Woodhaven Showteam”.

Justin & Dorothea have given my boy the opportunity to travel, and compete at prestigious International Dog Shows around Europe, and he is coming home with the titles.

I would like to thank & congratulate them for their fine work in exhibiting and looking after my young dog,

I was delighted to send my Chinese Crested "Multi Ch Legend's Black Jack" to Gibraltar without me as I knew he would be expertly handled and cared for by the Woodhaven Show team......and so he was!

Coming back to me with a double BOB and as a Gibraltar Champion.

Having visited them at home in France on many occasions I know that the whole Woodhaven family love the dogs and whilst being shown by them, the dogs feel loved & secure as part of a family, which in turn makes them perform better in the show ring. It is a win/win situation for both dog & owner!

Woodhaven showteam we asked to gain the International and Dutch titles on our Tibetan Spaniel, “Hugo” Int & Neth CH Avigdor Jupiter.  Not only did they achieve this, but they gain numerous Best Male and BOB results with him. 

We were more than happy with the service and care provided to both Hugo and ourselves. 

We have no hesitation recommending you their services and experience.
