Thelma and I purchased our first Sheltie as a pet in 1960 and
quickly fell in love with the breed. Since that time we have been
breeding and exhibiting Shelties under the Kismet prefix. We have
bred and/or owned approximately 175 champions, owned several ROM sires
and ROM dams. We have owned many specialty, group and best in show
winners with Ch. Karelane Royal Flush O’Kismet (Acey) breaking all records
for all breed best in shows with a total of 43.
In 1984 I left Occidental Petroleum and Thelma and I began handling
dogs for other people, winning many groups and bests in show with not only
Shelties, but other breeds as well. We won 98 best in show on 11
different Shelties.
Since 1998 we decided to quit traveling so much and have been
showing only our own dogs, or dogs of our breeding, since they had to wait
on the sidelines while we were handling for other people.
