As a 12 year old Karen became hooked on dogs after a very successful run training and showing her first AKC Labrador Retriever in obedience trials.
She and her Labrador "Sunny" were regularly beating the adults and were always in the ribbons.
Together they were just a half point off from the coveted Will Judy Award (requiring a score of 195 or better in three shows).
Their highest score being 199.5 out of 200 points.
