♥ Welcome to S ♥ [aka the NCC's China] S was established December 2001, and joined the NCC January 30, 2003, thanks to Lauren at Starswept and her puppies which were even then too cute to pass up. In August 2003, this was the first kennel to have every NCC recognized breed. Historically, S has specialized in sporting and hound breeds, but has recently begun to appreciate the herding and working groups. And no, the S does not stand for anything. Like a real kennel, I try to have good "all-around" dogs; S dogs do not just sit around and look pretty. I try my best to event every one of my dogs and treat them all as pets. Every month, all of my eligible dogs participate in the Nordic Canine Club's NCC and NCC Group shows. Additionally, S hosts many event trials on our kennel grounds and travels to other kennels competing in their events as well. I compete my dogs in many different disciplines, and hope that you will do the same with any puppies you adopt from my kennel. S puppies are bred to be working pets: dogs that you will love as a member of your kennel's family and event as often as possible. They are not just a pretty face! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a puppy I've bred earning title upon title. To treat a cyber dog like a working pet means to give it a call name as you would a real dog, and enter it frequently in events. To uphold this standard, it is a rule that S puppies must have call names posted, and I generally only adopt to people who I've seen active in event trials. -Adopt and breed uncommon color lines in several breeds. This includes all-black German Shepherd Dogs, all-white Ibizan Hounds, plattenhunde Great Danes, lilac Border Collies, and all-white English Bulldogs. -Breed diverse lines in recently-established breeds such as Pit Bulls and Chinooks while not creating an infamous Czechoslovakian-Wolfdog-situation and ruining the potential for breeding anything ever again; retire foundations after 2-3 litters. -Breed fewer litters with fewer puppies to allow increased concentration on titling adopted puppies; adopting those puppies out to established kennels with good reputations in eventing and responsible ones in breeding. -Remain active in running events and breed shows while entering as many as possible to maximize titling in a variety of areas. Congratulations, Prism, on being S's first American Champion!!! Started [12.22.01] 1st Completed [08.13.03] |
