In 2000 when Tim and I got married I moved to the
Western Slope from Boulder. We decided that because
we loved animals so much and had so many animals of
our own that we should build a kennel for boarding and
breeding.

One of Tim's friends gave me a English Springer puppy
who I named Maverick and I fell in love with the breed. I
decided that I would love to raise and breed English
Springers.
Tim had raised and bred Elhews in previous years and
has now also decided that he would love to breed and
train them again.
Our goal is to breed healthy,loving and sound puppies
that meet the requirement of the breeds standard.

Grow Old With Dogs
When I am old... I will wear soft gray sweatshirts... and a bandana
over my silver hair..... and I will spend my social security checks on
wine and my dogs.
I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair and listen to my dogs'
breathing.
I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night and take my
dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow...
When people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my
dogs... and talk of them and about them... ....the ones so beloved of
the past and the ones so beloved of today....
I will still work hard cleaning after them, mopping and feeding them
and whispering their names in a soft loving way.
I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel and I will be
an embarrassment to all... especially my family... who have not yet
found the peace
in being free to have dogs as your best friends.... These friends who
always wait, at any hour, for your footsteps and eagerly jump to their
feet out of a sound sleep, to
greet you as if you are a God.
With warm eyes full of adoring love and hope that you will always stay,
I'll hug their big strong necks... I'll kiss their dear sweet heads...
and whisper in their very special company....
I look in the Mirror... and see I am getting old.... this is the kind of
person I am...
and have always been. Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me.
Please accept me for who I am. My dogs appreciate my presence in
their lives...
they love my presence in their lives...... When I am old this will be
important to
me... you will understand when you are old.... if you have dogs to love
too.
