A little about me, and the dogs I have been blessed to have in my life.

Some of my earliest memories are of me being under 4 years old, and always having one of my parents' dogs with me.  Back then, my Mother raised Australian Shepherds.  I can remember playing in the back 40 with one of them most days (back when you could send your 5 year old off with the family dog in the woods to play for hours).  The dogs were my friends, and my protectors.  I LOVED puppies, of course!  Mom would frequently come in and put a puppy in my bed for me to snuggle with.  Now in my 40s, I still like to snuggle with the pups whenever I can. 
I began raising the Rat Terriers when my Mom decided to retire from the industry.  I lived on a farm, and had the ability to take on her kennel.  Years later, life circumstances forced the kennel closed.  I have spent about 7 years away from breeding.  I had my Pitbull, and hairless, but I was far from the breeding World.  I began to realize that I loved the dogs, and I had learned so much by caring for Mom's kennel those years.  I had learned what no text book could teach me ever.  After thinking long and hard about returning to breeding, I had to think of WHY I wanted to come back.  After much soul searching, the answers came.  I loved the dogs, and I loved the people I had worked with.  I loved bringing a puppy to others.  Afterall, puppies bring so much love and happiness to us all.  I also learned that what I had with the dogs was a gift from God.  I thought everyone got along with dogs, and understood them like I did.  I learned over my years away that it wasn't so.  What I also grew to know was that I was to share my gift with others....I was to share my dogs with others. I connect with the dogs in a way I was not aware of.  I took it all for granted before, but not anymore. 
Come enjoy my dogs with me......
Where beauty, health, and sound temperaments meet.  For the love of ALL dogs...and because every child should have the opportunity to grow up with a canine friend and protector.
