About Me
I was born into the world
of dogs 70 years ago, having a mother and grandmother
who both owned show kennels. I bred my first litter of
Boston Terriers at age 11 and grew up wanting to have a
kennel of my own: My mother and grandmother loved St
Bernards, so I carried on with the giants, seriously
breeding/finishing many champions with my husband, a
licensed AKC handler, for about 30 years. My youngest
daughter, Destre, and I also bred some top winning
Bichons. I became interested in Cavaliers in the 70's
but did not own any of the darling toys until Destre was
a teenager. I worked for an airline and we traveled
frequently to Cavalier shows in USA and Canada. My
daughter's interest in Cavaliers was always overshadowed
by her passion for Bichons, so Cavaliers became my breed
when I could no longer handle giant dogs.
Cavaliers are now my life. My
husband and I cannot say enough good about them. The
breed is the most precious we have ever owned. Our dogs
give us much pleasure and joy daily. CASTLEKEEP
CAVALIERS may be seen at most shows in and around
Atlanta, although our dogs travel to other states as
well. Today, I use handlers to show my dogs, but once in
awhile I go into the ring and hobble round with a puppy
Cavalier, just to have fun. I get a kick out of
finishing champions.

My
heartfelt thanks to my best friend, Julie
Howard, a professional handler-dog trainer
extraordinaire, for being my partner in breeding
many AKC champions of record. I have known
Julie since she was a kid. Julie bought
her first Saint Bernard from me, doing exactly
what I told her to do, finishing her "Peer"
in the stiffest competition. Julie and I went on
to breed and finish quality dogs together.
Julie and I co-bred and finished dozens of
champions in partnership: St. Bernards,
Bichon Frise and Cavaliers. I could not have had
much of my success during this time without
her.
 Together with my
husband and daughters, Destre and Dawn,
and friends, Julie Howard and Cindy Deloache, we have finished over 200
AKC champions of records, mostly homebreds.
Heartfelt thanks to
Cindy Deloache, a lovely lady who came to my aid
before she ever knew me, helping me in more ways
than one. Cindy and I now own champions
together. I am forever grateful to her for being
my friend.
Last but
not least, my deepest appreciation to my
wonderful, talented breeder friends in England
who have been kind and helpful to me, sending me
some of their most magnificent Cavaliers.
Charterwood, Moonvale, Clockpelters, Toraylac.
These lovely ladies are forever in my thoughts,
each time I look at my beautiful dogs.
