Our Beginning

Our journey began in 2005 with our search for the perfect pet for a ten year old boy.
 We were spending some time in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for spring break and
decided to go to the dog show to talk to breeders and get a good look at our
options.  The show bug bit us that day, and we haven't looked back since.

We have a few, spoiled dogs at our home in Arkansas.  Our main focus is
showing.  The boys do the training and handling, and we make sure they get to
the ring on time.

The boys are doing very well and are quickly learning the intricate details of the
sport of dog showing.  As with any sport, it requires a lot of practice, dedication,
skill, and sometimes even luck.  The life lessons have been incredible.

We have been to shows all over our region and have met some wonderful people.
 Many have become friends and mentors.  We wouldn't have made it through our
first year without the knowledge and encouragement of these veterans of the fancy.

math.  This picture was taken not long after she arrived in
the fall of 2005.

No other self-respecting show dog would submit to this
kind of torture, but Miss Marmaduke did make an adorable
pirate while we were at the pet store in October of 2007.
