Friend, mentor, teacher,
sounding board, confidant,
show ring star, herding partner, obedience lover,
loyal and faithful companion. The only dog in my
house who would offer his life for me.
I am so grateful for every day we had together.
He will live forever in my heart.
Thanks Jean and Barb who were with me today.
Thanks Dr. Connie Pozniak & staff for making his
passing as easy and peaceful as possible.
Thanks Don & Cecelia for the little runt red brindle
puppy who would change my life.
Now he is free and out of pain. That is the final
gift I could give him.
Sleep sweetly, Buddy.
I will always love you. I will never, ever, ever
forget you.

WELCOME TO THE TROUBADOUR CARDIGANS WEB SITE!

My involvement in Cardigans started in 1992 when I visited my friends Don and Cecelia Williams (Coldstream Cardigans) and saw their litter of 10 day old puppies. I fell in love with the tiny red brindle boy puppy and soon found myself his proud owner. I called him Buddy. I had plans for him to be my beloved companion and possibly earn an obedience title. The Williams encouraged me to enter him in a couple of dog shows as he was a nice looking puppy.
Surprise to all of us he won Best of Opposite Sex the first day and Best of Breed the next two days! I was hooked on showing. Now I share my home with Buddy and four more Cardigans: Candy, Fergie, Jesse, and Reba. These are the Troubadour Cardigans.
My goals are to pursue every activity I can do with my dogs; companionship first and foremost, conformation showing, obedience trials, agility trials, and herding trials. I occasionally breed a litter and earnestly try to produce the highest quality puppies. Mostly I simply enjoy the company of these endearing canines.

Why Troubadour as a kennel name? I played oboe
in Army Bands for twenty years until my retirement in 2004. My job
took me around the world. I thought it appropriate to name my
kennel after wandering musicians.
