It really does take a village - It's taken me a few days to post as I wanted to make sure I had the right words of gratitude to all who have helped me on my Australian Cattle Dog journey. First of all, my husband David Phillips for supporting all my crazy! My girls, LaKayla Phillips and Kylee Phillips for sharing my love of dogs and inspiring the purchase of the fabulous "Reign Dog". She is one of my soul dogs. A decorated individual in performance & AKC CH pointed. Thank you Kelli Lyons & Mark Philpott for breeding her. Doc Sherri Opara for helping me learn - what a fabulous mentor and friend you are. "Bruno" was the best and made some amazing puppies with Reign, a couple who are "Joey" & "Kacey". A huge amount of gratitude goes to Lisa Bowman for trusting me with her beloved "Tiger" boy - You have been an instrumental part of our success. Your friendship and guidance in breeding great dogs have been invaluable. My vets at Canton Veterinary Clinic Dr. Eberhart, Miranda Lester, Amanda Davis Armstrong, and all your staff -I won't even begin to try to tag all of them! You guys are really the best! My puppy buyers who trust us and believe in our program. We work very hard to make all this happen and we are thankful you appreciate that and our program. Then when a puppy lands a home that takes them to the next level it is very rewarding. Saera Red - You have done an amazing job with "Deja"! (Tiger X Joey) - Rocking the dog sports. Janet Reid & Chuck Lamers with "Lacey" (Tiger X Reign) in Canada - Canadian Champion! I am thrilled with all you have done with this great girl. Abigail House and Shane House for getting "Zest" (Tiger X Kacey) out there in the dog sports and scent work! And a special thank you to my good friend, Scott LeDoux for my first AKC Champion! CH Lakylu's Lucas LeDoux - thanks for believing in your dog and going the extra mile to finish his AKC Championship. I know it has been an interesting journey and I deeply appreciate you sticking with it! Thank you Colette Livingston-Keith for finishing "Lucas"!
Purebred dogs are the result of preservationist breeding, a collaborative effort dedicated to producing the highest quality dogs. It requires years of unwavering dedication, hard work, and sacrifice. This endeavor comprises great people supporting great dogs, united by their love for preservationist breeding. The ultimate goal is to produce the next AKC Champion, AKC Performance Dog, top-notch family dogs, and working dogs from generations of proven, titled, and health-tested lines. I am just one small piece in this grand puzzle. It absolutely takes a village to make it all happen. I am humbly grateful for all of the amazing breeders, mentors and great dogs behind our program and the fabulous families that love one of our puppies! ❤🐾🐾❤
