Pam Lambie was introduced to the world of dog shows as a teenager in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up as a “Navy brat,” her family relocated frequently, though she considers herself born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia. When she was in high school, her father retired and moved the family west. “We had acreage, with horses, goats, donkeys, and calves,” she recalls. Her parents wanted a guard dog and protector for their home and livestock—so they brought home a Mastiff/Great Dane mix. This first dog “kind of gave them the bug,” as Lambie says.
