Leading is a form of serving, our department, our teams & the communities we work in. It is self-sacrifice, giving of ourselves in ways we have never been asked before both physically and emotionally. It is also very rewarding in the way we can see results from our efforts. It requires a learning curve in the way we think, serve and our everyday work routine. Reach out to me to discuss your needs for your department event.

Boykin Spaniels
I attended a seminar that explained the difference between a Boykin and other well known gun dog breeds. I will never forget the quote. "Boykins want to feel special. They want to be your one and only." That is the home we strive to give each of our pups in the end.
