From the age of seven, I can remember growing up on our horse ranch and being surrounded by animals of all kinds. Some of them, geese, ducks, and birds to name a few were meant just to look at while others such as horses took you on wonderful excursions through the country side. Cats were nice, pretty to look at, soft to the touch, funny at times, sneaky at others and constantly independent. Out of all the birds, cats, horses, turtles, snakes, and owls, I knew there was one animal that none could come close to in fulfilling the special place in my heart and soul. The dog! They possess all of the above characteristics plus many more that have always seemed to be so important. They possess a heart, a soul, and are a never failing companions though our journey of life. They love you when you need it; they make you laugh when you are down and when you are sad they stay right by your side as if to say they understand what you are going through. You are their sun; their moon, the air they breathe and I ask you what other creature would love you so unconditionally?

For these reasons, it seemed only natural for me to want to be involved in the lives of dogs and to have them involved in mine. First, I had pets, and then I had show dogs that were also my pets. Then I decided to attend grooming school. After all, I knew how to take care of the dog itself, but now wanted to know how to physically take care of it, from head to toe on the outside. While living in Texas, I operated a boarding kennel. I knew how important it was for people to have someone they could trust their special family member to while they took a vacation. Out of this love for our canine companions, I feel my life has been ever blessed.

In the showing and breeding of Chinese Cresteds, I have a goal to produce sound, healthy, well-socialized puppies to be adopted by people, both singles and families, wishing to have that special pet that will perform well as a house dog, show dog, obedience dog, agility or working dog. I guarantee the health of the puppies and offer a written guarantee on any genetic disorders. I am available at any time to answer questions and help to provide solutions to any situation that a new buyer may have. I feel it is my responsibility as a reputable and responsible breeder to also offer a home to the puppies/dogs I sell should the adoptive family not be able to keep their dog.

Please, think before you buy. A Crested can live a very long life. Are you that special person or family that this cute little Crested would choose to live with for all the days of its life? They are loving, and playful and loyal. They warm your heart as well as your feet on cold winter days. They guard your home with all of the stamina and purpose a large dog would. Moreover, they will live in your heart forever as you do in theirs.
