My interest in purebred dogs began as a young child. In
1989, my parents bought me my first registered Shetland Sheepdog. I named her Miquette. Miquette was the beginning of a love for the world of purebred
dogs. In 1995, I acquired my first Alaskan Malamute from Andre & Lise Lepine (Chabek
Kennels) in Quebec, Canada. After being introduced to the show ring and the
obedience ring, I was hooked!
In 1997, my first litter was born. Kodiak gave birth to four lovely puppies.
These were: Ch. Akamute Etoile de L'Acadie WTD WPD, Ch. Abellure L'Acadie and
Ch. Winnie Etoile de L'Acadie and Nico de L'Acadie. Three finished their championship quickly
breeder/owner/handled by myself as a junior handler. Since then, I have acquired
dogs from all over North America. I have sold dogs in various countries, all
around the world including, Canada, USA, Spain, Austria, Iceland, France,
Finland, and Estonia.
I am a former professional groomer (Pets Beautiful Inc. School of Dog Grooming,
Ottawa, ON, Canada) and trainer (Morrison Canine Concepts Graduate Program,
Vancouver Island, BC, Canada). In 2006, I graduated from the University of
Prince Edward Island with a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology/Sociology) and
continued my education at the University of Maine at Fort Kent, Maine, U.S.A.
I've recently graduated with my Bachelor of Education degree and I am now working as a
Middle School Teacher here on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

I strive to produce dogs that are sound in mind and body. I enjoy all aspects of
the canine world and regularly compete in conformation, obedience and working (sledding,
backpacking, etc.). I have finished many Champions, Obedience Titles, many
working titles (Working Pack Dog, Working Team Dog, Working Skijor Dog, etc.)
