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.
