We have been involved in the dog show industry since 1985 and have completed championships on dogs across the seven groups. We specialize in campaigning a variety of breeds to the top rankings in their breed and group points. We have personally owned over the years multiple breeds including, Rottweilers, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Basenjis, Mastiffs and French Bulldogs. We currently are active in breeding our French Bull Dogs and Basenjis selectively from time to time. Our TEAM believes in the care of dog the first and the show career second, the dogs are part of the family!
