Lorelei Bayless has been a long time lover of animals starting at the age of 3 with her first pony ride. From then on animals have been her life and work. With background in showing and training Quarter and Paint horses,Her careers in animals included Vet Tech, Grooming, owning a Boarding Kennel and a couple of grooming salons. She also worked for Dept of Agriculture U.S.D.A AV..I.S as a vet tech in the bird quarantine stations. Lorelei started showing dogs in the 70's with her first papillon and continued with Australian Shepherds and Whippets. Lorelei owned a Top 20 Whippet in 1996. Lorelei decided to get back into Papillons and got her first one from Chie Ejima of Queen Bless Papillons in Japan. That papillon was the beautiful Am Can Ch Astrea of Green Partner JP, who was in the Top 5 2002 and 2003. " Elle " had made Lorelei so interested in showing papillons that she started handling for clients. Now she and her Husband Dan, Professional Handle limited breeds on a full time basis under the name Team Namaste.
