"Sunburst Kennels Perm. Reg'd" "Our History" For the past thirty five years I have bred and shown toy dogs to their championships fulfilling a lifelong dream. I started out breeding Pomeranians in 1970 with the help of Mary Allen, who had bred and shown poms in England under Windyhull Kennels. She started me out with a pair of show females and took me to all the shows in Alberta. She showed me how to groom and present my dogs. All my bloodlines at the beginning came from England. Hadleigh, Andersley, Jobaki and of course Windyhull. In 1984 I decided to take on another breed in the toy group, as I was thinking seriously of going for my judges papers. I felt hands on experience with these more difficult coat care dogs would be an asset. My second breed was Maltese and I was having so much fun with them, I took on Shih Tzus, Pekingese and Pugs. I showed all but the Pekingese at that time. In 1989 I moved back to Ontario having to give up most of my dogs. At this time I showed one of my poms Whiskey at the specialties. He soon went back out west with the remainder of my dogs, as I had to work full time and felt I couldn't do both being on my own. Ten years ago I met this wonderful man David, who I married a year later. He had no experience with dogs but loved my Shih Tzu Cherie. We decided to get back into dogs as I missed them terribly. I managed to retrieve some of my Pomeranian bloodlines from the west and started breeding and showing again. I really missed my Pekingese at this point and really wanted to show and breed these delightful dogs. With the help of Nellie Kaye in BC who sold us "CH Baizana Dragon Fly's KoKo Puff", Diane Stepple for "Ch Lionshadow Kathlynn Of Pirhls", Rosemarie & Wolf Besser for "Kantung Aramis" and last but not least Martha and Rita Baizana for our "Baizana LiJi Dang At Sunburst". Without the support of these fine people, we could not have had our second chance with our Pekes. We want to thank everyone who over the years has made my lifelong dream come true.
