It will be most interesting to watch the future unfold. While we wait for history to play out, we proudly stand on our quality breeding/exhibition success and flawless safety records over our 25 year involvement with the breed - all done OUR way, consistently, originally, and with UNDENIABLE results. Along with the help of a few very special breeders and owners, that is.
In 2003 we wish for everyone the deserving results of their own labours!
"The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen."
