Karen
(Webster) Peak is Cynthia's oldest child. She started working with her first dog at the age of twelve.
Karen and "Muffin" (Chanty's Blue Willow, CD, CGC) did Obedience, Jr. Show and
Pet Therapy together. Karen and her sister, Elizabeth, also worked with some of their mother's dogs in obedience and occasionally Conformation.
Muffin was retired early due to a slipped disc. In 1993, Cynthia had a litter of sable pups - two of which she had a tough time deciding between. Well, Karen and her very understanding husband, Doug, took one of the pups who is now Can. Ch., UAGI Will O'Wisp Final Frontier, CD, CGC, Therapy Dog.
In 1998, Karen and Doug welcomed Connor Erik, into the Will O'Wisp crew -
starting what will hopefully be the third generation of dog folk. They have since added Sarah Elizabeth (2004). Karen and Doug decided she would be a stay-at-home mom which allows her to work with her own dogs and
pursue teaching dog classes. Staying at home also gave Karen the opportunity to volunteer with Guiding Eyes for the Blind from 1999 - 2002..
Karen is a frequent contributor to the Sheltie Pacesetter, has been
interviewed for articles in various magazines and online. She also occasionally writes dog-related articles for various all-breed websites. Karen likes to concentrate on working with new puppy owners and Puppy
Kindergarten. Most recently, she has developed WWDT's Safe Kids/Safe Dogs Project (in 2001) around D'Argo, Willo'Wisp Ventura Farscape, CGC, TDI.
Karen also shares her house with cats, guinea pigs, rats and rabbits.
