AKC Breeder of Merit

 I got my first purebred Pomeranian in 2005. While he was far from the AKC breed standard, who would have known he would spark in me a love for a breed and dedication to preserving that breed standard going forward. I purchased my first show dog in 2007, and had my first litter in 2009. I began breeding chin a few years after, and am now an AKC Breeder of Merit for both Japanese Chin and Pomeranians. I have bred Group Winners, BISS winners, and top ranked dogs. I am a member of the American Pomeranian Club, the parent club for the Pomeranian breed. 

My dogs are health tested per the breed club recommendations for OFA tests and CHIC certifications. Pomeranians, this is CERF, Patellas, and Hearts. Japanese chin is the same as well as GM2 screening. I also pay attention to any other issues that pop up in offspring or may be discovered during veterinary health screenings. No breeder can promise issues won't arise as dogs grow up and get older. Just like us, issues can pop up and most conditions are manageable. But I do my best to try to produce healthy, well adjusted dogs. 

As a Professional Handler, I am on the road a lot and most of my focus is on showing dogs for others. This means I can only keep my best for myself and I only have a few litters a year. I place my dogs in forever homes- but any dog I do place must be returned to me if it cannot be kept. I will always stand by my breeding, as it is my goal that no dog I place ever be placed in a shelter or a rescue.
