About Me
Animals have been a living and breathing part of me since before I could walk. Most people have videos of their first steps as a child. I, however, have a video of my first time on the back of a horse. I grew up raising AQHA & APHA Cow Horses. My mom involved me in every step from pedigree, health, and conformation research for finding the right stud for our mare to birthing, raising, and marketing the foal. My mom also rehabilitated DA and HA Rottweilers and GSDs throughout my childhood. We had many success stories but, sadly, we also had failures. As I grew up I understood that it was not my mother's fault that she couldn't be successful with certain cases as well equipped as she was, nor was it really the dogs fault. It all came back to the breeder. Either irresponsibly breeding without proper knowledge, education, and commitment or failing the dog by placing the puppy incorrectly.
As I did my research to bring home my first well bred AKC purebred puppy, I knew that I wanted to help the future of dog breeding. As I dipped my toes in the Fancy of Purebred dogs, I was hooked. Here we are 8 years later and we now have two wonderful breeds that we can not wait to contribute to as trainers, breeders, and co-breeders. It truly does take a village!
