I have been in the dog world since before I could walk. I come from a show dog family, my mother has been breeding and showing Chow Chows for going on 24 years now. When I was around ten years old my desire to enter the ring on a full time basis peaked and my mother thought it would be wise to find me a small breed to accomidate my grand plans in the show ring. Shortly after I began showing Silky Terriers, I did very well with them over the years, I had won breed and made the cut at the World Show in Puerto Rico, got countless group placements, and group wins under my belt by the time I turned 15.

However, as I got older my love for the larger working breeds grew. I soon began to handle a pair of Great Danes for some friends, early one morning I arrived at our ring and watched as one of the most beautiful dogs I had seen flew around the ring, I instantly feel in love. When I got home I immediately began my research to make sure that the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was for me. The more I read the more I knew this was the breed for me. A year later I contacted a wonderful lady, Kristen Kleeman - for a little over two years she and I talked and became good friends while I waited for the right puppy. The wait paid off in full when I drove to Kentucky to pick up Tabitha, Derby 's Simply Enchanting . Tabitha is absolutely stunning and I cannot thank Kristen or Kim Harpole enough for giving me such a beautiful bitch to start with. <3
