The Inspiration behind Owenbeg
I share my home with Jazz; a Malinois /Mastiff x, whom I adopted from rescue. A difficult start in life left her with both physical and behavioural challenges. Her journey taught me first-hand how closely pain and behaviour are linked.
She remains the inspiration behind Owenbeg.
The Owenbeg Approach
Working in rescue, and later managing the day-to-day operations of a busy animal sanctuary, gave me invaluable experience in canine welfare and behaviour, ultimately leading me to establish Owenbeg.
My philosophy is simple: understanding the whole dog to provide professional support tailored to each dog's individual needs.
By considering both physical health and behaviour I aim to identify and address the underlying causes of a problem, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Why Owenbeg
The Owenbeg affix was originally registered by my parents, who were founder members of the Northern Ireland Basset Hound Club and members of the Northern Ireland Cocker Spaniel Club and the Northern Ireland Chow Chow Club.
The Owenbeg name reflects a long family connection with dogs.
