Having grown up with dogs, it was natural for me to have the need of a four legged friend. I wanted my kids to grow up with these ever loving creatures in their lives. I feel they make our world complete, never judging & turning away from an out-stretched hand. Now my grandkids will be able to enjoy them too.

Although cockers were not our first, we had shelties for a number of years, they are our mainstay. Boxers add zest and protection to the two-legged occupants of our home as well as the four. We will have a third (& only) breed, she arrives On Sunday Apr. 7, 2002. Call me crazy, but I couldn't resist, a pointer will be joining the troops - Layne.

To date I have bred 17 Canadian Champion (cockers) & 2 Canadian Champion (boxers), all owner handled to title. These along with 3 others, also owner handled, purchased from other breeders, have kept me on the go. I have been infected with the show bug, and sometimes go just for the fun of it.

Our breeding program is select, we only use healthy, sound specimens of the breed. We eye test cockers annually, boxer hearts are tested at the age of 1 yr & again at 2 yrs. Hips are done on both at the age of 2 yrs. Quality is our goal not quantity.

Last year we decided to change our feeding process. We visited with some people who were using the Raw program. Norm & Janice Starr have been ever helpful in keeping my canine crew supplied with healthy meals. Along with some supplements in the form of vitamins, herbs & fresh water my dogs are the healthiest I've ever seen them.
