ALL ABOUT  RUMOR KENNELS

 

My kennel is located in the City of Hamilton which is located about 1 hour from Buffalo, New York or Toronto, Ontario.

I purchased my first show dog in 1971 and have bred Champion Irish Setters, German Shorthaired Pointers and Shetland Sheepdogs.

It all started with my first Irish Setter, Rhea’s Autumn Brandy.  I had always wanted an Irish Setter as a youngster.  A friend said I should show such a lovely dog so I did and hence the beginning of a very long involvement with purebred dogs.

I purchased my first sheltie in 1976.  He was Ch. Bydand’s Frostmaster a Banchory Thunderblue son, out of a lovely Kismet bitch.   He was a Herding expert of Irish Setters & German Shorthaired Pointers. Frostie, to his friends was  a wonderful little dog.  In the early 80’s I decided to downsize and am now only owned by Shelties.

In 1992 I decided to complete the necessary steps to get my judges license and have been judging since 1994.  I am licensed for Groups 1, 6 & 7.

I am currently the Director for Western Ontario for the Canadian Dog Judges Association. 

I am the Vice President of the Canadian Shetland Sheepdog Association,  a LIFE member of the Canadian Kennel Club and was a long time member and held most offices in the Elgin County Kennel Club.

Although our kennel is small I strive to produce healthy, happy puppies with wonderful temperaments.  My guarantee is for life.  All of our pet puppies are sold with a CKC non breeding agreement and come with our health & temperament guarantee which includes a strict return policy which negates anyone from reselling one of our puppies without our full blessing.  A puppy after all is a lifetime commitment.

I believe that our breeding program is second to none when it comes to caring to preserve the health, temperament and true essence of this wonderful breed.
