PAST & PRESENT

We owned Dobermanns for twenty seven years and have also had two Rottweilers, both as rescue and from puppyhood. We have trained them for both obedience and showing, having shown Dobermanns for eleven years. We now own three Italian Spinoni, Grandfather, Father and Grandson, all of whom are doing very well in the show ring. Our dogs are, first and foremost, much loved family pets.  These are our more recent show dogs:
