About Us

I am located in the foothills of North Carolina and raised my 2 children here. Both are now grown and on their own, so our dogs are our full-time children 24/7.

I have had my own businesses for over 25 years. I decided in September of 2005 to go into a business that was in line with the thing I loved most .... Dogs, so I opened a pet product business known as Pnderosa Products in January of 2006. In the product line we carry all the items I use on my own dogs and showdogs. Things that are used by breeders around the US but not commonly found in retail markets. I also carry many breed related gift items for the dog lover. I can run this business from my home, to give me more freedom and time for my dogs and their needs. The product business can be found and is an online store at PnderosaProducts.com. In addition items from Pnderosa Products can be found at some dog shows where one of my show dog clients has a vendor booth at many local shows. I also have been designing websites since 1997.  I began grooming in addition to these 2 businesses to support my dogs and showing habit and I also began showing dogs for clients in 2005.
 
These are my Children, Crystal & Trent

Crystal Lee Pelegrin Crystal Crystal crossed rainbow bridge on 5/2/06, at the young age of 26, after a bad reaction to her medication	Paladin Trenidy Lail Trent Trent is now a fine young man on his own now. He calls and visits us often. After his sisters tragic death we all realized how important family is, how short life can be and how much we take things for granted.
Ronald Smith Ron is my stepfather. He was more like a father to me than a step dad. He has always been there for me like a dad since I was 16. He and my husband help me and my mom with anything we need for our dogs.	(right)Joyce Smith Joyce is my mother. Like most moms she has always been there for me but she has often gone above and beyond the call of motherhood to help me have and succeed in the things I wanted most out of life. We have laughed and cried together for more than 40 years.

My mom is my partner in the dogs. She and Ron are retired now and we live next door to each other, so it is easy for us to keep our dogs and do whatever is needed for them.  My mom and I started raising them together in 1991. I couldn't show dogs if it weren't for her as she comes in and feeds the ones that live in my house and takes care of them while I am away at shows on weekends. She also helps me with maternity watch on our pregnant girls. Spending days and nights barely sleeping to watch them when their time is close, which helps me more than I would ever be able to repay her for.

Friends

    
Jerry & Sylvia Shumake   ------- Kathy Davis ------ Mike Blevins

Jerry, Sylvia, Kathy & Mike are all good show friends of mine. All have been friends for many years and I co-own dogs and have done breedings between some of their dogs and mine. It is hard to find good friends who will be there for you when things are bad, as well as good and I consider myself very lucky to have these people as friends.

Linda Dawn started out as a client whom I showed a yorkie for. After getting to meet her and her family.... Husband Steve, Boys Brandon, Justin & Ryan they all became great friends and an extended part of my family. She has several Pnderosa babies and we co-own several dogs together.

I had the honor of being her matron of honor when she and Steve
renewed their wedding vows in Dec. 2006

Here are some of the cherished wedding, rehearsal and reception photos of some of the wonderful new friends I have made and found in Maryland..... Linda & Steve, Allan & Marian, Tammy, Brandon Lee, Johnny Reed, Billy.
