We purchased Keara from Cindi Stumm and Fritz Dilsaver of  Aristes Bouviers in California as a 4 month old puppy. She enjoyed showing as a owner handled. In 2001 we introduced her to Larry Clark (professional Handler) and the  two of them hit it off right away. 

Between Larry, myself and  Fritz we showed her to #  3 Bouvier in 2001.

 Keara took time off in 2002 to have her first litter then came back out to finish her American championship, under the guidance of Fritz.

 Keara is now retired from the show ring and the whelping box.

Harmony was our first Bouvier, she was the one that introduced us to this wonderful breed and the great world of dog shows. She was a great learning dog. She was bred twice and produced our first 2 homebred champions and 1  herding started out of her first litter. 1 champion and 1 Herding Started  from her 2nd litter. She was spayed and moved onto other hobbies: 

Protecting the skies from hot air balloons, 

Ear cleaner of the sheep (stupid sheep!),

Constant bed warmer. 

She also visited extended care facilities with her son Pav and did promotional work for the St. John's Therapy program.

                                                      She is missed

Pav was our first homebred champion, finished at eleven months with a Best of Breed and a Group fourth. He went on to pick up a few  more group placings as an adult. 

For being a male, he was a gentle natured dog which enabled him to be shown as a "Juniors" Dog. He took two juniors ( Jamie-Lee Larkman and Megan Laverty-pictured) to the BC Provisional in different years.

Pav also loved to herd, thanks to our sister Jacqueline, she completed his Herding Tested and Herding Started titles. 

Pav along with his mother Harmony visited extended care facilities and did promotional work for the St. John's Therapy dog program. 

Pav has joined his mother Harmony at the bridge.

He was a very sweet boy and was loved by everyone that he came in contact with.

Steff wasn't a "champion " in the dog show sense, but she was to us.

She left her legacy in Glimmer - Ch Brocade's Dangerous Curves - BPIS, multiple puppy groups, multiple group placings, Winners Bitch Canadian Bouvier Nationals - all before she was 13 months old.

Steff has joined Harmony and Pav at the bridge.

She will be missed.

Melody was our 2nd homebred champion and our first Group 1 Bred By Exhibitor in the States

 Melody's claim to fame was winning BOSS at the BCBdFC specialty in 1995- eleven weeks after whelping eleven puppies! 

Due to complications, she was spayed after being bred for her third litter. 

Melody was a big girl - 26 1/4"  but in standard

Melody almost made it to her 14th birthday

She left with dignity and has joined her parents, littermates and most of her children that passed before her.

She will live on through her Grand daughter "Glimmer"
