Our sincere thanks to the breeders who have generously allowed us to use the photos of their top producing stud dogs. We invite you to visit their sites by clicking on their hi-lited kennel names.

I would like to take this opportunity to add a very special thank you to a great lady, Mrs. Stella Newby of Worrindale Kennels, for sharing her incredible knowledge about breeding and allowing a novice to learn at her side and achieve the dreams of a lifetime. Stella continues to pass on her valuable advice with the only request, that her knowledge be shared. She is the inspiration behind All About Dogs.
