My name is K. Lynn Anderson, I am fifty
seven years old. I believe that I was put on this earth
to love animals and care for them. I have had some kind of animal
most of my life. I got my first horse when I was twelve. I talked
to every horse person I knew and contacted Appaloosa breeders
and asked a hundred questions. I learned all I could about the
breed.
Hence my motto "If you don't ask
questions, you can't learn."
I took a break from
horses from 1972 til 1986 to raise a family. In 1987 I got back
into horses with a leopard appaloosa stallion and a bay mare in
foal to him.
I studied the breed
learning what would produce a really good quality Appaloosa, conformation,
performance and color. I was very passionate about improving upon
the Appaloosa, if I chose to breed. But this was not to
be.
In May 1991
while exercising one of my mares, I was thrown & kicked in
the face. This changed my life forever. I was no longer
able to have my horses. I turned my attention to my toy &
miniature poodles. Having my dogs to love and care for helped
me thru my rehabilitation. In July 1994 I got my very first chinese
crested!
I fell in love with
the Chinese Crested the very first time I laid eyes upon one.
His name was Freckles (pictured), Donna Guinn (DeeKay) had rescued
him from a very abusive home. I met them at obedience classes.
With lots of love and patience from Donna,
Freckles earned a CD in Obedience and became a Therapy dog.
I have had the wonderful
opportunity to welcome this breed into my life. I am but a single
person in the world of Chinese Cresteds. My dogs live with
me. I have been fortunate enough to learn from many wonderful
Crested breeders. I studied pedigrees
so that I could make the best matches possible to produce a
better Crested. Most of my old dogs have gone over the Rainbow
Bridge and some are
retired now.

My very first crested
was a rescue of sorts. I named him "Streakin Wildman"
because he was sooo naked and wild! Streaker was 4 months old
when I got him. I lost Streaker January 12, 2009. He was 14 yrs
and 10 mos old. In the nearly 15 yrs Streaker lived up to his
name. I really miss him.

Ch Gipez's Lu-King
"TOBI" was
my first show quality crested. I got him at 4 months of age in
1997. Many thanks to Ginette E. Perez (of Gipez) for entrusting
Tobi to me. Tobi earned his AKC championship under the gentle
hand of Jean Dice, with whom I am am deeply grateful for showing
him when I was not able. Tobi finished with 4 major wins and one
single. Tobi is now retired, has been neutered. Tobi turned 11
years old December 1st.
Tobi died today,
Dec. 26, 2006
He had congestive
heart failure.
I will miss my
dear, sweet , funny little man.
My motto is "If you don't ask
questions, you can't learn."
So
come on in and meet my four-legged kids.
