Hello and
thank you for visiting my site! Integra Kennels is located in
Snow Camp, N.C. I was born, grew up and have lived in Franklin,
Indiana most of my life. I became interested in dogs at a very
young age. I showed in 4H Obedience for years with my first dog
Toby, a mixed breed. We attained State Champion status before
getting my first Sheltie named Champ in 1985. Champ earned his AKC
Obedience title and was also shown in 4H. In 1990 I obtained my
first Sheltie for showing/breeding.
My start in
the show ring also began in 1991. I became a member of the
Central Indiana Shetland Sheepdog Club and together with my friend
Sharon, was able to co-breed my first Sheltie litter.
Throughout the early 90's, I was learning grooming and handling.
The results of my early efforts are reflected through the above
links.
I am dedicated to
producing top quality, standard sized, healthy, well socialized Italian
Greyhounds for companionship and the show ring. I average only one to
two litters per year and my breeding program emphasizes quality, not
quantity. I occasionally have puppies or young adults available for
show or pets to approved homes. My dogs are raised in our house and are
considered part of the family. Health and temperament always guaranteed.
Enjoy my website and thanks again for visiting...Mark Lucas...
