After growing up with standard poodles on a farm in Western Canada, Phillipa Gill returned to the pure bred dog world in 2007 by adopting retired show dogs. Since 2013 she has been participating in conformation dog shows and other dog sports (when time permits). She currently shows and occasionally breeds standard poodles using the prefix "Story Book" (AKC temp. reg'd).
