Chimera Kennels

I want to say...THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OVER THE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am truly living a life I love...and am getting into a position where I get to live it more and more every day. Of course like everyone, we all have our "trials and tribulations" but I have never been so blessed. Sure may have our haters out there...and they have worked diligently to ensure that can't be denied, but we are 100% doing better today in our program than we have ever been. We have recently been producing better dogs than we ever have as we continue to select for performance in each generation...we have more support than we have ever had, as we continually provide proof for our claims...and we are 100% dedicated to our goals, and things are simply getting better every day. Things are continually better with our dogs and success...and this is a great blessing that is very motivational.

And, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has been supportive. ALL THE READERS OF THE SSDA BOARD HAVE BEEN ABOSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!!!!!! THANKS A TON FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

Also I would like to thank a few others as well...

First, my wife and family. Your support has been greatly appreciated.

Next, Danny and Angie Jones. The two of you have some awesome dogs, as well as your two AWESOME KIDS, Dalton and Kirsten. Your commitment to take excellent care of your dogs and to be such a supportive "extension" of  our program is greatly appreciated. Your support does not go unnoticed. We are lucky to have friends like you.

Wade Ford, who has helped us work on some PP work with some of our dogs...and is one of the best PP dog trainers I have met.

Prentice Wallace. Your help in our earlier years was greatly appreciated. Stay in touch no matter what.

Martin Liebermann of Martin's K9, who has provided much support through the earlier development of our program.

JohnnyC and MaryC of Loyal Guard Kennels. You are truly dedicated to your dogs and your program...and that means a TON to me. It isn't everyday that we find people that DO WHAT THEY SAY...and you guys do just that!!! I appreciate both of you and wish you great success in your program. I am pleased to have a few of our dogs and foundation dogs in your program.

Butch Cappel...you are a great human being. This may be one of the nicest complements I can offer. You are 100% positive in nature nearly 100% of the time. You really are exceptional at developing drives and I am very grateful that you were willing to come out to Chimera Kennels not just once, but twice for decoy seminars. We really appreciate the things you taught us. Thank you.

Roger Abshire of USK9. You have inspired me in many ways...and are an expert trainer IMO. I wish you the best and appreciate your support. I hope to train with you more in the future. I also appreciate the dog trailer we obtained from you and your willingness to let me stay at your facility on many occasions.

Max, your program will help me "ease up"...as now I don't have to keep as many dogs just to keep the program going strong. Just keep selecting the best...and you will do well. I also look forward to seeing you develop as a trainer.

David Ishi...I hope to make a trainer out of you yet.

I also want to mention a great thank you to a particular UNNAMED person that is as good as they come in the PP world...one of the best that ever existed for REAL STREET DOGS...and certainly one of the best in America. In time, this person will become mentioned, but not until he wishes to be revealed.

Another unnamed individual that has provided us with a HUGE amount of information from the original Swinford program. This person's name will also be released in time...along with the many original Swiford documents concerning breed goals, breed standard, letters, articles, and photos.

To the many recent additions to the program...welcome aboard. Stay in contact and let us know if there is anything we can help you with.

Lee,

thak you for the very kind words, but I have ot say that those trips out to your place worked out pretty good for me too.  I got re-introduced to a whole nother dog and a fun and impressive program, So thank you as well!

I was reading over your list and you seem to be running with a pretty good herd, I'd be grateful too.  Tell Angie and Danny I said hello and please give Kristin a hug and Dalton a thump for me, Naw, give Kristin a thump too.

LOL.

Well Lee, there is no way Angie and Myself can express our gratitude on a forum. You have provided us with dogs we are comepletely satisfied with. They are truly a part of our family. I'm sorry I haven't been much help lately, just seems like there's always something going on.

Butch, we really miss ya' and hope to see you soon. BTW, if Kirsten see's you spelled her name wrong, You're probably gonna get thumped! LOL. Family says Hello. 

Daniel, I know you have been busy with the business move.  I liked your new building btw. We will catch up on the dog training...after you get out of the woods this hunting season. Good luck.
