A few year ago we found ourselves traveling to shows together so that we might have company and share expenses. In short order we discovered that our
standards and beliefs were on par as is our love of dogs and handling. We are two staunch perfectionists who agree that the health, mental well being and comfort
of any dog takes priority over any ribbon. Having said that, we are both born competitors AND both manage to live off Tim Horton coffee. So, it was either fate
OR Tim Horton share holders that brought us together as a team, lol!

Experience has taught us that not only do breeds differ in drives and personalities but that all dogs are first and foremost individuals. Each dog has qualities and
quirks that make him or her unique and this is why we love them so. We consider the mental and physical qualities of each dog resulting in the team of dog and
handler achieving the most professional presentation. Working as a team we both spend time bonding with all the dogs we show. This affords our client dogs two
"buddies" they love and trust in case of a handling conflict.


Dog shows can be a stressful, exciting and tiring, while also somewhat boring, event for a dog. We appreciate this and realize that dogs need more than their two
minutes in the ring to keep them performing happily. Walking them outdoors to exercise them not only accommodates the necessary but also gives them a change of
scenery. One on one time, play time, treat times and rest time are all important parts of conditioning a dog to enjoy the shows. There's more to the experience than
two minutes ring time, a grooming table and a crate! Nobody, including your dog, performs their best if they don't like what they're doing.


As breeder /owner /handlers our years in breeding allows us the understanding of any breeder's passion and anticipation when it comes to that new show hopeful. 
Our rates and motto reflect that showing dogs is our LOVE, not our living. We both started out handling our own dogs and puppies so we know it can be a
daunting and expensive proposition for an owner. In our early years of breeding, we both hired handlers so we also know how expensive some can be and what
level of love and care we wanted for our dogs when we handed them over to a stranger. We've both been there.

As professional handlers we want for your dog what we would want for our own. We are committed to the goal of guiding dogs through an enjoyable, successful
showing experience. Achieving less than this is failing those dogs trusted to us and their owners.

For us it's ALL about the dogs.
Working with each dog and watching it become all it can be as show dog is what we're all about. Seeing the smiles on owners faces puts a pretty good icing on the
cake.
