We are native Texans, living just outside the Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex. I have been showing animals all of my life. My husband, Tim, graduated from Tarleton State University and I graduated from Hill College. We have 2 children that are our pride and joy. The kennel name, Ben-Er, is a combination of their names, Ben and Erin. I've had several clients ask me for pictures of my home and family----so here they are! The first 2 picture shows the front of my home-----I LOVE pink flowers and have 30+ pink rose bushes! The third picture is our daughter Erin at her graduation from Texas Tech Law School (she got her bachelor's from the University of Texas in Austin). The fouth picture is my husband Tim and our son Ben out riding, then there is me----the red head. Last, but certainly not least is Ben graduating from Texas Tech in December 2009, pictured with his beautiful girlfriend Jessica.
Tim and I have been around dogs all of our lives. I grew up with Border Collies that were true workers and top hands on our ranch and Tim grew up participating in Field Trials with some great German Shorthaired Pointers and English Springer Spaniels. One of the first things that we did after we moved into our first house was to get 2 dogs----a rescued Poodle and a Border collie mix puppy. When we had children we needed to look for a dog that did not shed or cause any allergic reactions, as our kids were bothered with allergies, leading us to Yorkies and Maltese. These two breeds make wonderful pets for someone suffering from allergies. I then purchased several Champion Show dogs from Gumwood Kennel when Sheryl Mackey retired.
I owe my success to many many breeders that went before me and molded the look of the dog that we breed today, that short, square body with large expressive eyes, a baby doll face, and sweet nature. My first champions and breeding stock came from Gumwood, Marcris and Hi Lite, we also have little darlings with Wildweir, Chelsea Nimar, Mayfair, Kajimanor, Caromaya, Master Showcase, Keolis, Fantasyland, and Cedarwood Championship breeding.
Many people have a misunderstanding of what it means to have a dog with "papers". They do not really know what AKC (American Kennel Club) papers are or their importance. The AKC is a registry body that issues registration certificates that we call the "AKC Papers". Some confusion has occurred over full or limited registration. Full registration means that the dog may be shown and bred. Limited registration simply means that puppies from that dog cannot be registered. The papers are limited to that dog, but the dog is still an AKC registered dog. AKC now includes DNA testing. We are AKC inspected and DNA tested. We believe that the best way to purchase a dog is directly from a show breeder, this ensures that you obtain a dog that is both sound in mind, body, and spirit. The pet purchase is no less important than the show purchase, both will be a part of your family for many years to come. We want to ensure that you receive the best quality dog.
The noted English geneticist, Dr. E. Fitch Daglish, says: "In breeding we can only get in a litter the qualities which are put into it through the parents, so that it is unreasonable to expect to produce top-class puppies unless care is taken when arranging a mating that all the qualities we wish to obtain are represented genetically in one or other of the parents; the ideal being that both the sire and dam shall possess as many of the characteristics desired as possible."
