A Navy veteran who has become a staple on the competitive dog breeding circuit said this year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will likely be her last, as she has chosen to forgo surgery for terminal ovarian cancer.
Loren Marino, 42, and her Cesky Terrier Hector, 12, are well-known fixtures at the annual show, and have been competitors elsewhere for nearly a decade, The American Kennel Club reported. The pair from Toms River, New Jersey, took home an Award of Merit in 2014 and Best of Breed in 2015 at Westminster.
“It would sure be nice to bow out with another breed win,” Marino told AKC.org.
