Liz has had a life long love for animals, starting with her exposure to all kinds of creatures at a very young age on her father’s hobby farm. In her other professional life, Liz has enjoyed a career in Health Services Long Term Care administration and project management.

In 1991, Liz registered Edinglas Kennels with the Canadian Kennel Club, and has been a breeder of Golden Retrievers and Shetland Sheepdogs.

In 1994, Liz purchased Pet Country Estate, to fulfil her dream of operating a business doing what she loved, and being able to enjoy doing so on her own property. Pet Country Estate has grown in leaps and bounds under her leadership; none of the growth possible however without the support of countless friends, acquaintances, staff, volunteers, clients and animals that have helped make Pet Country Estate what it is to-day.

Liz currently guides her troupe of 20 volunteers that range from the age of 9 and upwards, on good animal care techniques, good socialization techniques with animals, and most of all the right play for all concerned. An evident hobby for Liz that can be observed throughout different areas of Pet Country Estate, is her landscape gardening; also a love for collecting other creatures that fill this natural environment.

Liz has a passion for bringing dogs and people together; she finds great joy in being able to see wonderful families coupled with the dogs she breeds. More recently Liz has led the way for Pet Country Estate to support the community through her business fundraising activities related to Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.
