I originally started
in 1982 breeding Maltese and spent some time enjoying these soft,
sweet natured little ones... But found, due to the need for
a caring and nurturing home for the many homeless and unwanted
dogs of all breeds that I over the years took into my home and heart,
stopped breeding and concentrated on doing what was so very important
at the time... easing the suffering of the many unloved breeds that
were given to me, and then finding them a safer, more caring, forever
home.
One especially, who
stole my heart... was my Chang... a lovely Pekingese fellow that came
to me in the saddest condition I have ever seen... He was
literally covered in sores, had ear infections that on their own
should have driven him crazy and had been neutered very badly... and
was just in so much pain... anyway he stayed with me and became the
most wonderful of normal little fellows and I will never forget my
loved 'Bear'...
For a few years I
concentrated on re-educating myself and taught in many different
spheres and many different subjects to a very large diversity of
people in need of special and individual attention.. before returning
to my passion.. furry little ones..
As with everything I
do, I pour all of my energies into doing what I do to the best of my
abilities and spend endless hours researching and checking to assure
that I am doing what is
'right'... Our
breeding here is the same... as 'right' as we can make it for
the best interest of our breed and our little ones attest to the fact
that our plans are indeed producing the progeny we have hoped for.
We have not been out
'there' much as yet in the show ring but this year is set to be a
great one for us and we hope to meet the many people who have helped
us along the way at some of the shows we will enter.
There are so many
people that I feel a debt of gratitude to for your support and the
amount of time and information you have given us...
We are members of the
Victorian Canine Association, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Victoria and Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel Club of NSW
and also would like to thank them for their support and advice during
our membership.
