OuThe Driggers....

We met while Cathy was still in high school. We worked together her senior year. We both were raised in the same town and graduated from DeLand High School. We live in Lake Helen, Florida. We have enjoyed raising our family in our small town. We wouldn't have had it any other way.

Our two daughters are now adults with families of their own. Our oldest daughter Tori lives in North Carolina with her husband, Kyle, and their son, Hunter and daughter, Harper. Tori recently started her business of Harper Lynn Bowtique which allows her to be home with the kids. Ashlee is our youngest daughter, lives in North Carolina with her husband Andrew. They have two sons, Thrasher and Xander, and two daughters, Nora and Kennedy. Ashlee who is an RN, Caromont Medical working in Labor and Delivery. She is currently continuing her education in the medical field.

Where We Started.....

Our love for Pomeranians goes back many years. Our first pom was adopted in 1995 but it was several years later before we would decide to get into showing and breeding. Cathy studied Animal Science and worked with vets and shelters before her life took a completely different path.We decided we wanted to breed quality Pomeranians that fell within the breed standard and had the wonderful character we love so much in ours. This was something we both love and can do as a family.It was a rough road trying to find the quality we desired for our breeding program. Once we established the quality we were looking for, that of course led to showing. We started showing our poms and are so thankful for the friends we have met along the way that have taken the time to work with us and have taught us so much.

Each and every puppy receives special love and attention in our home with the family. We strive for Poms that fall within the standard that the American Pomeranian Club has set for the breed along with great dispositions.

A lot of research and thought goes into each breeding. Not all of the Poms pictured on this site are part of our breeding program. We do not allow our males to be used for public stud.

We spend more time these days working with our local all breed club, West Volusia Kennel Club. Mark and Cathy work together as instructors for the Conformation handling class offered by the Club. Mark and Cathy are both AKC approved New Exhibitor Mentors and AKC Canine Ambassadors. Mark is the Show Chair and Cathy is the AKC Delegate for the West Volusia Kennel Club. We are always willing to help with rescue and help educate people as to being responsible dog owners and/or breeders. Owning and/or breeding is not something anyone should enter into without knowing what kind of a commitment it really takes. Mark from time to time handles dogs for others. Both Mark and Cathy groom and teach those who would like to learn how to groom their dogs at home.

  We love spending time with our family and friends.Our church and our faith in God represent a very important part of our lives.

 
We have a heart for mentoring and have enjoyed the opportunities that have been presented to us. We enjoy working with Junior Handlers and you will typically find juniors with us as we travel to different shows. The biggest reward is seeing them grow up into great young adults and accomplishing the goals they set for themselves. You can see more about our this on our mentoring page.
