Welcome to my site... My focus is
on Quality Affenpinchers. I show in both Canada and the US, and my Affens are
registered with the Canadian & American Kennel Clubs .
Lakewood is located in Surrey, B.C., Canada. We are close to both Vancouver and
the Washington - B.C. Border. Although we do love having visitors please
call ahead of time to arrange an appointment.
I also offer grooming with a focus on hand
stripping terriers for show and pet.
Lakewood's
History -
I have admired the Affenpinschers from a far for years. Coming from the
terrier group, their temperament was very close to my first breeds - Jack
Russells; Border Terriers and Norwich Terriers. After talking to the
handlers of this unique breed I decided they were just what I wished to have in
a small dog. I now only have Norwich Terriers and Affenpinschers.
My travel partner and co-breeder
of the Norwiches, Heather Tomlins, helped me find a breeder. After waiting
for a few years and corresponding there was finally a puppy for me. This
first breeder was Nenne Runsten from Sweden. She also has had Norwich so
with mutual ties she agreed to send me my first Affenpinscher, Am. Ch. Airescot
Snow Scooter. Scooter has been a great ambassador to the breed for
me. Scooter has finished quickly in the US and is almost done in Canada
too. He comes from a healthy and free whelping line...
After finding Nenne, I also found
Pam Peat. She sent me my first girl "Pramada Naughty Nightingale
(Fly). Just after Fly arrived I got an email from Mieke Cooymans in
Holland saying she had a girl for me also! It was just around Christmas so
little Nthanda (Panda) was a good Christmas present from my husband Dave.
So now I have a full family!
I still have my good old Border Terrier "Tracer", and also a young
Norwich Terrier "Fizz"...
I look forward to the future with
my new breed.
