Hello and
welcome! I maintain this page to tell people about the
accomplishments of my dogs, a little about what it's like
living with each breed, as well as info about my experience
over the years of showing & training. Hopefully,
you'll find it easy to navigate and interesting.....
I finally took
a picture of my kids, which you will find at "The Dogs"
page. I've decided that when I update this page, I'll
put a new Alaska picture below. This one is Ravine
Lake and the light spots in the water are huge rocks!
I have been in Alaska for 34+ yrs and live with my dogs:
2 Rottweilers, a Long Coat Chihuahua and the little blond
baby, Lea, a Tibetan Spaniel.
If you are here
searching for a future pet, I highly recommend adopting a
purebred dog from a rescue group. Don't fall
for the old belief that just because a dog isn't a baby, it
won't bond with your family!
Do a Google
search on your breed followed by the word "rescue"
to find a purebred rescue group. If you don't believe
me, talk to someone that has rescued a dog or that has been
the one rescuing, and you'll better understand how many
wonderful purebred (and mix breed) dogs are in need of loving homes.
I am currently
a Member of Alyeska Canine Trainers, American Rottweiler
Club, Chihuahua Club of America,
Tibetan Spaniel Club of America and finally, Midnight Sun
Street Rod Assn. All my dogs, both big
and small, are fed a raw diet of Columbia Natural Pet Foods.
For my personal experience on switching them over, see my
page on Feeding Raw.
For those here
looking for a place to train your dog, I have to say that
there are still far too many people out there teaching the
pop/jerk on the collar method of training! Hanging
your dog by its lead, the 'alpha roll' or seeing your dog
urinating in fear are caveman ways of training and there are
much more positive methods used today. Go
watch a few classes being taught at your local school before
you hand over your money. If they won't let you
watch... move on to another school !! Training should be FUN for
both of you. See Favorite Links for Training &
Behavior information and, search the
National Association of Dog
Obedience Instructors site for a qualified Instructor
close to you!!!
