About Us

Since I was a child growing up on Air Force bases in Canada

and Europe with my parents and brother, I have had a

serious love for animals.

My dad was known for bringing home animals that needed

help – the most unusual one was in France – he brought

home a baby Peregrine falcon that had fallen out of its nest.

We cared for him (his name was BUTCH) until he was ‘grown

up’ enough to go free.

On the bases in Europe, dogs were not allowed, so when we

were posted back to Canada in 1959 the first thing I wanted

was a dog. I’ve had dogs in my life ever since! 

Training each one was up to me because they were all ‘my dogs’.

Whether it is my beloved Staffords with whom I have shared

my life for over fifty years, or my second breed the

Doberman, I give everything I have to my dogs.

Training classes are a must are an excellent way to build a

rapport between yourself and your dog. They also give an

excellent opportunity for socialization which is so important

in a puppy's development.

Our dogs are not just involved in Conformation showing, but

also Agility work, Scent Detection and Rally for over 15 years.

I’m very excited to start the next journey – teaching Scenting classes!
