Patrick and Tamara Kelly

We met as teenagers in 1976 while both attempting to find a home for the same stray dog. That stray, "Lady" became our first dog together and  began our love of dogs.

    Patrick joined and served in the Marine Corps. When he was was honorably discharged, we attended Western Washington University. We both graduated with  double degrees in sociology psychology with Bachelors of Arts.

1997 found us with our first adopted ten week puppy Cavalier. Having never been to a dog show, we began our journey into the show world with our pet, bitch puppy. The three of us learned together. When we retired our Cavalier girl in 2001, she had received 25 toy group wins or placements in four countries.

    We are members in good standing of the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club (ACKCSC) the AKC parent club for Cavaliers.

 We are current members and past board members of Cavaliers of Puget Sound.

    We are past show chairs for the 2004 ACKCSC National Show & Trial , and the 2003 COPS Specialty show.  

  Patrick is serving as Vice President for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Northwestern Washington.
