Between Paul & Kelley, we have 20 plus years of experience showing, training, grooming and conditioning dogs for the show ring. We have shown dogs to top ranking spots in their breeds, groups and over all national rankings. We pride ourselves on presenting your show dog to his best, as well as our integrity and professionalism to the business. We personally care for, groom, condition and present your dog. We have experience with many breeds.

Paul is a second generation dog person, his mother is a breeder of Brussels Griffons and Boston Terriers. She is also an AKC licensed judge for several Toy and Non-Sporting breeds. He worked for a professional handler for over 5 years gaining the experience and knowledge about caring for, training, presenting and campaigning top dogs. Paul has an excellent relationship with dogs and it shows in the ring when they give him their all.

Kelley is a first generation dog person and a breeder of Australian Shepherds. She bought her first Australian Shepherd in 1996 and began showing dogs in 2000. She too traveled with and learned from a professional handler how to care for, condition, train, groom and present a show dog. She has become a successful breeder of Australian Shepherds having bred many champions, as well as Best of Breed winners and Group winners.

We are currently assisted by Marisa Bradley. Marisa breeds and shows Chows and has a Best In Show winning Chow. Marisa was 12 years old when she won her first Best In Show with her Chow. She also excels in the Juniors ring. We are proud of her accomplishments and the excellent care and relationships she builds with her own dogs as well as the ones in our care.

Proudly, we are AKC REGISTERED HANDLERS, a program that protects the integrity and professionalism of the sport. Visit www.akc.org for more information.

We carry care, custody and control insurance on all dogs in our care. An important aspect when choosing a handler as it is added protection for your dog while in our care.
