Each breeding is carefully planned with the hope that it will
produce puppies that will mature to be able to do what they were originally bred to do and to improve the temperament,
health and structure to a higher level. All of our revenue comes from dog shows and
dog related activities. As such, we donate our funds to many local projects which
include oxygen masks designed for small animals to the Raleigh Fire Department. All fire engines
& RFD Rescue trucks are equipped with a set of masks. We have donated seven dogs to the Raleigh Police Department
K-9 Unit and one to the Wake County Sheriff's Department. We annually fund scholarships at the NCSU College
of Veterinary Medicine. Additionally we have funded numerous research projects at The NCSU School of Veterinary Medicine.
We work with the local community by sponsoring an annual micro-chip clinic in conjunction with the Vet Students annual
Dog Olympics and by contributing to local area rescue organizations. We are interested in the welfare of
all dogs both mixed breeds and purebreds. The reason our focus is on purebreds is because they are predictable
as to size, temperament & maintenance. We sponsor, under the rules of the
American Kennel Club, two shows a year, one in March and one in September. Other North
Carolina Kennel Clubs hold their shows here making it possible to have 5 shows in March and 5
shows in September. Dogs come from all over the U.S., Canada and other parts of the world
to compete. Each breed has a written standard indicating how their body structure
and movement compare to what they were originally bred to do. A very respected judge, the
late Mrs. Anne Clark, once said that the written breed standard was like the specifications for
a building and the Judge was the building inspector. They are judged against others of their own breed and the judge selects
the one that in the judge's opinion comes closest to the perfect specimen of that breed. Anyone
buying a pet should have it spayed or neutered plus micro-chipped for identification and
recovery should it become lost. Many people think a dog show is an affair
with dogs dressed up like people with toenails painted, etc. Nothing is further from the
truth. A dog show is an event where you will see the result of careful and selective breeding
producing strong, healthy, functional and happy dogs. |
