You are visitor#

that stopped to visit us! Thanks!

Thank you for visiting our home on the Internet! On this site, you will meet me, my family, our Staffords & our other dogs.

Our first Stafford, Tonka, was purchased as an 8 week old pup from Boomtown Kennels in Talihina, Oklahoma. As he grew, I made sure he was socialized with people and animals to insure a stable, outgoing temperament. Tonka absolutely LOVED people and adored my son, Gavin! He truly was the nursemaid dog typical of the breed's history. Other members of our canine family follow:

Fajita may be the smallest in stature of our dogs, but she is the biggest in heart! She is a spayed pet.
Asta, formally known as Hungarian Junior Champion/UKC CH Asta V Schwarzen Diamant, CGC, TT, RTD, OFA, CERF, PSD (Hungarian import) is our Rottweiler.
Lastly, Dior, formally known as Armani's Black Tie Affair, CERF, AKC & UKC Pointed, AKC BOB, is Asta's son by AKC/UKC CH Heaven's Micah V Whelan, OFA. Dior was shown successfully in AKC & UKC venues, but did not pass his OFA, so he was neutered and retired and he is now a very much loved and spoiled pet who is co-owned by myself and a good friend.

TONKA STOLEN NOVEMBER 14, 2001!! DAYTON, OHIO AREA. PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY INFO!!! ****UPDATE 04/07/07****Tonka STILL MISSING!! $2,000 Reward for safe return! HE IS DESPERATELY MISSED!!!!

For questions on Staffords, please refer to the SBTCA website . ALL of our dogs are pets, first and foremost and are raised as such. **Please bear with us as I update the site. Thank you for your interest in our canine family.

Tonka earned his AKC Championship quickly - finishing by going Best of Breed over Specials - and was only defeated once! He has now won multiple Group placements and many, many Best of Breeds, not to mention taking 2 UKC Best in Multi Breed Shows while earning his UKC Championship in one weekend at his first UKC shows!
