Mariah has been an integral part of the Fantastikrot Rottweilers team since approximately 2012, developing a strong foundation in the world of purebred dogs from a young age. Spending around four years living and working closely alongside Sherri, Mariah gained hands-on experience in all aspects of breeding, raising, and presenting high-quality Rottweilers. Throughout her time with Fantastikrot, Mariah has played a key role in the success of the show team, contributing to numerous achievements in the ring. Her involvement later extended to the Longnlow Dachshunds team, where she continued to demonstrate her versatility and skill across breeds as Sherri expanded into breeding and exhibiting Dachshunds. Mariah has been involved in the development and progression of the Fantastikrot breeding program, with a strong understanding of pedigree analysis, genetic influence, and the preservation of correct Rottweiler type. Her expertise spans conformation, temperament, training, and handling, with a strong emphasis on presenting dogs to a standard that reflects both quality and integrity. Beyond Fantastikrot and Longnlow, Mariah has successfully handled for a wide range of respected breeders across multiple breeds. Her junior handling career was marked by outstanding achievement, including multiple first-place wins, state-level placings, Royal Show final wins, Best in Show awards, Best in Specialty Show wins, and group-level honours—establishing her reputation as a highly capable and competitive handler. Mariah’s ongoing goals centre around contributing to the breeding of top-quality Rottweilers that embody strength, soundness, and confident, stable temperament, while upholding the integrity and legacy of the Fantastikrot bloodlines. She is equally committed to assisting in the continued development of the Longnlow Dachshund program, with a focus on producing dogs of quality, soundness, and correct breed type. Through both programs, Mariah strives for continued success in the conformation show ring, as well as broader participation and achievement across a range of dog sports. Looking to further expand her contribution to the industry, Mariah also aims to enter the trainee judges scheme, with the long-term goal of progressing toward an all-breeds judging licence. Driven by a commitment to excellence, Mariah continues to build her presence within the industry, with a clear focus on producing dogs that are not only competitive at the highest levels, but are also a true representation of their breed.
