Dog and cat showing, breeding, and training
Sara's Page


Hi all! Welcome to my page on our website, and I will tell you a little about myself if you are interested...

I am happily married, and now living in beautiful south Florida. In March 2003, we bought a townhome in sunny North Lauderdale. It is an urban community, in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area, and is convenient to both West Palm Beach to the north, Miami to the south, and of course Fort Lauderdale to our east.

About the same time, my parents, Carlos and Linda Donadei, moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida - Port Charlotte - and where they live is "country" enough to recharge my "rural" batteries when I go visit.

I just graduated with a Master's Degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Healthcare Administration. I was a Certified Surgical Technologist in a trauma Operating Room for the last few years, but was forced to seek another profession due medical concerns. I am active volunteering time to various dog training clubs and rescue organizations.

From our Home Page, you can guess that one of my hobbies is our dogs. I have been training dogs for almost 15 years now, and I am a Certified Schutzhund Training Director and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

My first love is Obedience, and I thank trainer Shelly Leibowitz (Shelly's School for Dogs in Freehold, NJ) for the tremendous gift of his knowledge, teaching and PATIENCE.

I also love showing in Conformation - I was mentored by a great Beagle breeder, the late Cliff Veth - and continue now with one of my best friends, Bonnie Giacovelli, who also shows my collie.

The dogs themselves each have their own story, too. Check out the "Tails" page to get a glimpse into the del Mango home...
