Brooke was introduced to dog handling by her grandmother at the age of ten.
She began by handling her grandmother's three boxers at several match shows
then began handling in the junior classes.

She didn't have her own dog, and really wanted a German Shorthaired Pointer.
After researching the breed and different kennels, Brooke's parents found
Wanttohunt Kennels and surprised her and her brother, Noah, on Easter Sunday
2006 with Diego (Wanttohunts Dream of Brono).

Brooke now handles Diego in the breed ring, as well as in Junior Showmanship,
in the Open Intermediate class. She is also handling two other GSPs as well as a
Boxer, a Rottweiler and a Belgian Sheepdog.

Brooke also has a full schedule participating in basketball, soccer, and softball.
