Recognized as one of the world's leading animal appraisers and expert witnesses, Daventry Appraisal Services is a trusted authority in the valuation of companion animals. Our experience includes appraising breeding and show dogs, breeding and show cats, and a wide variety of companion animals, including—but not limited to—exotic birds and parrots, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other specialty companion species. Our senior appraiser, Tracy Dopko, has a long history of owning purebred dogs and regularly participates in agility and obedience trials. She has also been an active member of The International Cat Association (TICA) for nearly two decades. She previously managed TICA's website, served as Chair of the Kurilian Bobtail Breed Committee, and has earned multiple International and Regional awards exhibiting a variety of breeds throughout North America, including Maine Coons, Cornish Rex, Selkirk Rex, Ragdolls, and the rare Kurilian Bobtail from Russia's Kuril Islands.
