Guy and I purchased our first Sheltie as a pet in 1960, and like everyone else, fell in love with the breed.  Since that time we have been breeding and exhibiting under the Kismet prefix.  We have bred and/or owned 175 champions, and owned several ROM sires and dams.  We have owned many specialty, group and best in show winners.
 
In 1984 Guy and I began handling all breeds full time, with Guy doing the majority of the group and best in show winning, though I did manage to put a few bests on different Shelties.
 
Since 1998 we gave up handling for other people and have been showing only our own dogs.  It is nice to be able to spend more time with our dogs, and my other interest, which is gardening.
