We began our first breeding program, formerly known as Hisaw Australian Shepherds, in 1983. Regi began showing as a pee wee handler in 1984. When she wasnt showing in pee wee's, you could find her "training" someone else's dogs or watching the smurfs with the infamous "London" HOF ASCA/AKC/Int'l/Mex/Premier CH Bayshore's Three to Get Ready STDds. In 1994, Regi became addicted to showing after she won her first National Junior Finals at the age of 12 with her bred by bitch, Alli. She was also the # 1 Overall Junior Handler for five years, as well as a member of the 500 club all five years (which remains a record). Regi has dabbled in all areas of competition, but loves the conformation ring. To date, she has handled 30 dogs to their ASCA championships from start to finish and major pointed countless others, as well as titling dogs in other areas of competition. The Hisaw Kennel bred over 100 conformation champions as well as dogs titled in obedience, agility, and working, which had made it a Hall of Fame Kennel. In 2007, Regi decided to leave the Hisaw kennel name behind and start a new kennel name, Catori, meaning "spirit" which is also in relation to her constant sidekick, ASCA/AKC/Premier CH Chambray River Cats Pajamas CGC "PJ's".

Regi, along with her husband, Jared, have dogs that are closely linked to Regi's foundation lines. Jared and Regi are members of ASCA, USASA and NCASC, an affiliate of ASCA. Regi is an ASCA Junior Showmanship Judge as she waits to be old enough to apply to become an ASCA breeder judge, which will be in June 2008.  She was given the honor of judging the 2005 Nationals Junior Finals in Conyers, Georgia, as well as a large prenational show in 2004 in Paso Robles, California. Regi also gives handling seminars in her spare time, including the 2006 German National Specialty and the 1997 and 2003 ASCA National Specialties.

Jared and Regi were married in August 2006 and welcomed their son, Joshua, in 2007.  Regi continues to stay semi-active in showing dogs and teaching her niece Alyssa the ropes, while Jared continues his Team Roping. See below for a list of Regi's accomplishments in the show ring.
