So far, Sera is THE FIRST and ONLY Kuvasz to
be a GROUP PLACER at that show!

Our dogs are competitive at large
entries. We believe that it is important to prove one's breeding stock
by earning titles prior to breeding.
We do not believe in making "kennel champions," which means
earning championships by regularly competing against our own dogs. Where is the fun and
the sportsmanship in that?
Titles are important but be careful not to put too much
emphasis on show wins!
Some champions are campaigned every weekend with lots of
money spent on advertising to help make them top winning dogs!
We also prefer to allow our show dogs
to be "regular" dogs. We really enjoy their company, and occasionally,
we allow
them to re-enter the show ring.
Show records do not say it all! |
