214 – Dancing with Dogs: Jere Marder, Lambluv OES

Her Dance Partner is Her Dog

Jere Marder was a high school teacher when her husband brought her an OES puppy as a Christmas present. Her world-renowned Lambluv Old English Sheepdogs are the result of a gift that has kept on giving for more than 40 years. She managed a successful breeding and show program for much of that time from a condo near Chicago.

But before that, she choreographed school musicals and taught at her own dance studio in the city. Lambluv dogs have reached #1 in both the Working group and since it was split in the Herding group. The first few were shown by a local professional handler, Jack Funk, but since then, Jere has taken over the leash and her top specials are exclusively breeder-owner handled.
