ABOUT US

"For many persons, especially people who
live alone, a pet can be a true companion,
sometimes their only companion. The
unconditional love we receive from a pet
and the love we give back, can draw us
into the larger circle of life. After all d-o-g
is G-o-d spelled backwards."
Fr Andrew

These are words of my priest and I feel his
sentiments completely. So many people are
lonely these days. I love dogs, I have
always loved dogs, I cannot remember a
time when my family did not have a dog. As
a young child my father use to take us to
the Detroit Kennel Club dog show at Cobo
Hall and taught us the "beauty" of dogs.
We did not have show dogs, just our pets,
but him like me was always fascinated with
how beautiful a dog could be. I was lucky
enough to get involved with the sport of
showing dogs in my twenties -- thirty years
ago. I love to breed dogs, it is my artist
expression. I love having puppies,
nurturing them watching them grow. I love
watching new owners pick out their puppy,
and now with internet, picking out a puppy
for a perfect match with a family and
hearing the excitement on the phone when
their puppy arrives. I take my job as dog
breeder very seriously, I am bringing a life
into the world. I want my puppies to
enhance your family not burden them. I am
retired and spend a lot of time and money
on my dogs, partly because I like to spend
time with my dogs, and partly to ensure
you get a healthy well adjusted pet.
Remember your puppy is only a "puppy"
for a short amount of time, and the
cuteness wears off, but a dog that can love
you and you love him back last a life time.
All my puppies are born in my home, and at
appropriate age moved into different
situations to ensure they can adapt to what
life has to offer them. Families and life
styles are all different and not all puppies
will match up with your family. A breeder
has to spend many hours with their
puppies to be aware of each one's
personalities, and yes puppies are like
children everyone can be different. My
adult dogs are all being shown have been
shown or working in some sort of
performance venue. Currently we are
working in agility along with conformation
showing and have done some weight
pulling. We are the proud owners of the
very first parti color standard poodle to
earn a weight pull title and last year (2009)
our solid male, "Pedro" finished in the top
winning dogs in the country at UKC
competition!
On occasion I have adult dogs available,
I like to place my adult dogs that are no
longer being used for breeding into pet
homes. This allows families who would
rather not deal with a puppy a chance at
having a trained dog and gives the dog a
place of their own. I have had great
success in placing adult dogs with families,
my adult dogs are housebroken, used to
being around small dogs and cats and have
some if not all obedience training. Again,
each dog is not perfect for each family, so
ask lots of questions . I am happy to assist
you in finding a loving pet.
Thank you for your interest,
Kathy Esio-King
