About Us

Meet Our Family

We live in a growing community better known as White Rock, just minutes from the beach. Since we enjoy a rather temperate climate here on Canada's western coast, our Chessies have fun swimming in saltwater year-round. That's not to say that they don't get a taste of Canadian winters. My husband, two daughters, and I are active members of the Canadian Ski Patrol at where we continue to enjoy the outdoors with our dogs, spending winter weekends at Manning Park where snow and mountains provide almost as much joy as the shorelines of local waters.

In addition to swimming and snow-play, our versatile Chessies excel in a variety of disciplines. They are hard-working, intelligent, and very trainable, earning titles in obedience, tracking, hunting, working-certificates (retrieving), and conformation (show ring). Most importantly to us, they are sound in body and mind, with excellent temperaments.

As the focus of our family switched from Obedience Classes, Tracking, and Hunt training to School, Ballet Classes, and Piano Lessons, our dogs took it all in stride. They welcomed young friends and eagerly played with dolls; but truth be told they were happiest on family outings to the beach. Chessies do best with lots of exercise and a job and we are very excited to begin formal training again. We look forward to much success with the help of our "junior handlers." Watch for us Hunting, Tracking, and in the Obedience Ring!
