Ellie Ovrom (née Perry) lives in San Diego, CA with her husband Andrew and two dogs – Kaia the 9 year old APBT-mix, and Iris the 3 year old Drentsche Patrijshond.

By day, Ellie is a product development engineer and project manager in the medical device industry. She also enjoys spending time in the outdoors, reading fantasy novels, and cooking for family & friends. But her biggest passion is dogs.

Ellie has spent hundreds of hours reading, watching, and listening to books, videos, courses, webinars, and podcasts ranging from pet dog training to preservation breeding to dog-sport specific skills. She is also fortunate to have many excellent mentors in pet dog training, sport dog training, and preservation breeding, and has taken dozens of in-person and online group classes and private lessons. She has spent time shadowing both pet dog and sport dog trainers in hands-on environments, and has instructed novice-level Scent Work classes and workshops.

Our main purposes for sharing this website are to advocate for fulling relationships between dogs and people (RuffCoast), and to advocate for the preservation of the Drentsche Patrijshond (Meliora).

Ellie is an active member of the Vereniging de Drentsche Patrijshond, founder and Vice President of the Scent Work Club of San Diego, a member of North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association International and the NAVHDA San Diego Chapter, and a member of North American Canicross.
