My love of dogs started at an early age, I fell in love with my uncle Rudy's standard smooth dachshund named Gypsy. She was awesome, but I could not have a dog, so I had a cat. When I got on my own and got married, I did get a dog, but just a border collie type, and eventually met a gal who raised and showed Bearded Collies, and the dog show was in my blood. I have done very well with my dogs, I have total support from my family. We try to breed the best dogs, and show the best that we can. I am honest and upfront with my clients, and totally love raising my puppies, and meeting such wonderful people from all over the world
I have three grown children, and now three grandchildren who have taken over the love of the dogs as well. They always come over to snuggle with the puppies. I am very fortunate to have a loving and supportive family, who believes in whatever I put my mind to. I work in our local elementary school, and work with an autistic child. I love antique shopping, going camping, travelling and of course going to dog shows. I will continue to strive to produce the best dogs that I can. I believe that my friends who I hold close and dear to my heart, must have the same passion and honesty that I have...and you know who you are.
