My Name is Jeri Russell El Dissi.  My brother Charlie and I grew up in Sussex, Wisconsin on a game farm with a large variety of wild animals and with my parents Bob and Nancy Russell who raised the top producing kennel of Alaskan Malamutes in the world.  " Storm Kloud" Alaskan Malamutes.

As I was growing up I knew I loved animals and loved to work with them.  I started showing dogs in 1968 and have loved it ever since.  I later married in my 20's my currant Husband Sa'd El Dissi.  We have two children Adam and Ice'  all grown up now.  I had to cut back on my handling as we raised our family but, with the help, and love of my husband, I was able to continue my love of handling. We owned a pet supply business in Waukesha, Wisconsin for almost 30 years,  LDC Professional pet products that we closed in 2015. 

I run training classes and work as a Professional handler.  Please contact me if you are interested in either.    ldcpet@earthlink.net 

As any good handler, we need help with our dogs at shows.  I am lucky enough to have Hannah Sohnle my assistant and my Sister in law Rania El Dissi  and Kevin Gasper all rising young handlers to help me to handle with conflicts. Thank you, all for your help.   A big thank you to all my clients and friends who allow me to show their wonderful dogs.

Please enjoy the photos.  They are a work in progress, and just a taste of the dogs I have handled over the past 50  years.
