I’ve bred
Top Producers, Register of Merits, Specialty Winners, and Multiple
Group Winners.
CH Ken-Bear’s Echo In Time ROM/OFA-Good & Elbows/Eyes Cerfed was Top Producing Dam in 2002.
Along
the way, I’ve had a lot of wonderful people who have touched my life.
They have become my friends and extended family. One in particular
stands out. In June 1998 Marilyn Vogt bought a dog from me (CH
Ken-Bear’s Duke of Earl [Isaac]). She wanted to show her own dog and I
became her breed mentor. When Isaac attained his Championship, she
thought she was done showing dogs. But I changed that. She was a
natural and loved showing. I told her “I didn’t put all of this work
into teaching you how to groom and show dogs for you to walk away”, so
she joined my kennel and now she co-owns, co-breeds, and we travel
together showing dogs. She has become a wonderful friend to me. Marilyn
has extended what our dogs do in the ring because she also does
performance events.
I attribute my success in the show ring and my breeding program to
having 2 wonderful breed mentors who taught me that Temperament,
Health, Type, and Soundness were of the utmost importance.
