We are at the time of life when our children have grown and flown and we thoroughly enjoy having our own lives back and being able to once again follow our own hobbies and interests. We have always had Danes but we now have Danes with pedigrees, which give us just as much love as the non pedigreed Danes, but because they are pedigreed and registered we can follow activities such as the show ring, or obedience and have done both of these things with varying degrees of enjoyment.

Usually directly relevant to the charm, intelligence and great personal beauty of the judge of the day. Regardless, we still take the best dogs home. We can go away for the weekend to dog shows, show the dogs, have a social day with other people and their dogs and generally enjoy our hobby. We have 2 Harlequin Danes, 2 Fawn Danes 1 Black Dane and 1 Blue Dane.

Airedales came into our lives only about 3 years ago and I am still learning the finer points of grooming these wonderful dogs and grooming night usually ends up being a night when the Danes do not watch TV or sleep but watch the Dales being groomed with a sphinx like smile. Airedales are a charming, intelligent and most wonderful dog. Dales are an excellent companion, because like Danes they need to be near people, be a part of who you are and what you do. The two breeds get on together despite the size difference.

Our Kennel Prefix is SYDSTAN, my father was SYD and Roger's father was STAN, both of these men loved and respected dogs. Enjoy the dogs. Cheryl & Roger Acford
