VASTAYA DACHSHUNDS
We offer select handling services for a small successful group of dogs. All dogs are treated like one of our own, because of this we keep the number of dogs we take to a minimum.
We currently travel in Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan on a regular basis. Outside of that area can be arranged.
Our handling contract is being updated and the new copy will be uploaded soon.
We love showing dogs, and can provide your dog with a fun, positive experience in the ring. We do not handle a large number of dogs, so we can offer personalized service tailored to the needs of you and your dog, and are happy to provide references.
We've had the honor to show many nice dogs over the years including multiple top 10 in their breeds.
