About Us

 We live on a 560-acre farm located near Clyde, Alberta. (About 1 hour north of Edmonton.) Here we enjoy what
nature has provided for fun. We love to go fishing in the Red water River which runs through our place, as well as
quadding in the summer, gardening, horseback riding, and ski dooing in the winter.

We raise Black Angus cattle and at present we have 75 cow/calf pairs, 3 bulls, an Arabian horse (retired), a working
Border Collie, 2 Cats (neutered), a Green Parrot and of course our beloved SHIH TZU!!!

During the summer months, things around here can get pretty busy, with all the farm work that needs tending too,
the dog shows, gymkhanas, gardening ect...Somehow we fit in all our activities with time to spare to mow the lawn.

Since I am retired, I still have to play, so I work 3 days out of the week at our local Veterinary Center. There I do the
Dog Grooming, which I have also been doing since 1985. I quite enjoy seeing the dogs go from Scruffy to WOW!

We believe in raising our Shih Tzu for Quality not for Quantity. We breed 2-3 litters a year only. We do offer a waiting
list. All of our dogs have amazing personalities and temperaments. They are tremendously happy and outgoing.
Raised underfoot, these little ones will steal your heart away and make the most wonderful friends and companions.

Raising and showing the Shih Tzu is the most satisfying feeling for me. I truly hope that you will be able to enjoy them
as much as I do.

Due to my busy schedule, I am thankful to have Natasha Taphorn to handle my dogs for me in the show ring. The
dogs respond fantastically to her, and I never have to worry about leaving them in her care.

Please feel free to drop me a line any time, I love hearing from everyone and meeting new people.
