Professional Handling

We treat all dogs under our care as part of our family.  We have a detached heated/air conditioned kennel plus a dog room inside our home.  All dogs are given 'house time' every day.  We believe preparing a dog for the show ring is as important as him becoming a well-behaved member of the household.  Sometimes in a show ring, especially with terriers, it may well come down to demeanor and training.

Dogs we accept for handling are exercised daily to keep them in top condition.  We feed Innova EVO or will accommodate special diets and supplement as necessary or at your request.

We follow a show schedule in the South, Southeast and Midwest areas of the US.  We limit our string to 5 in order to allow us to give our full attention to all dogs in our care.  On occasion we will travel outside of our regular show districtHOME for national specialties and/or supported entries.

We have been successful at all levels of dog shows, from finishing a new champion to campaigning specials to qualify for Westminster and Eukanuba Invitational to class placements including Judge's Award of Merit and Best of Breed at national specialties.  We also accept ringside pick-ups.  These dogs must be fully groomed and have at least minimal ring training to be taken into the ring. 

We accept most breeds but specialize in Terriers.  After a complete evaluation, we will talk with you candidly about your dog's potential as an AKC Champion of Record.  If the decision is made to go forward with showing, he/she will be conditioned and groomed as needed.  We devote as much time as is necessary to condition your dog both mentally and physically to take on the stamina required for showing.  When boarded with us for showing, he/she will be fully ring trained.  We can also schedule private handling lessons for you if you want to go into the ring yourself.  If there is enough interest, we will also teach a class when there are 4 or more students.

When deciding on whether or not to place your purebred with a handler, remember.. professional handlers are better equipped to manage the pressures of constant grooming and showing every weekend.   Additionally, hiring a professional is often less expensive than doing it yourself.  The cost for hotels, gas, food and incidentals can add up fast.  This does not include the grooming supplies and equipment and the wear on your vehicle.   A big plus is you won't have to load and unload the crates, grooming equipment, grooming tables and dogs in and out of the show site.  Then there is the conditioning, exercising, grooming, pottying and clean up at the end of a very long day.

At Outfoxed Kennels, we put our reputation on the line each and every time we step inside of a ring and we are going to do our very best to ensure your purebred will win those needed points to become a champion or make it into the AKC Top 10 and beyond.  Give us a call today and let us help you make your purebred the best he can be.
