Welcome

 

I acquired my first cocker in 1983, a pretty black bitch I found in the newspaper ads.   I enjoyed her so much, I ended up getting a buff bitch and dog.  I quickly became friends with the breeder of my buff dog.  She showed her dogs in AKC conformation shows. 

It took her around a year to convince me to enter a show!  The first 6 months I was so nervous in the ring I would tell everyone "Please don't ask me my name, I'm too busy remembering to breathe".   After awhile, I realized that the judges were people just like us, doing their job of giving their opinion of the dogs in the ring on that given day.  After that I was hooked!   

I breed as close to the breed standard as I can, with temperament being 1st, conformation next.  A beautiful dog with a bad attitude doesn't stay here for long!  The one thing that is important to me is that the puppies that I place in pet homes are just as sane and beautiful as the puppies I place in show homes.  My puppies are born and raised in my dining room, getting constant attention.   They get used to many different people, kids, and cats.  I am also very lucky, my husband is a vet!   My puppies get excellent health care.  I also do all the required health testing. 

Please go through my pages and I hope you enjoy my dogs as much as I do.
