ARKAMA
(Kerries since 1972)
A long established UK Kerry kennel still active & highly successful after all these years
Home of 45 Champions and 4 World Champions, Crufts BIS winner 1979, Crufts Group winner 1985, Top Dog All Breeds 1986 - over the years many times Top Kerry, Top Puppy, Top Breeder, Top Kennel, Top Sire, Top Dam
This longstanding very small select show kennel has a reputation for breeding happy, healthy Kerries with excellent temperaments. All live in the house as part of the family and I believe any more than than a small number of dogs would make it virtually impossible to give each my individual attention. Therefore sometimes after a show career is finished there may be an older Kerry available to a good home.
Temperament is a major priority
Well bred quality puppies are occasionally available
Unlike 2007 & many other years, 2008 was a very quiet one for Arkama itself but I have been having a hugely successful time in the ring handling “English, Irish & International Ch Sharp’N’ Shocking at Irisblu” for good friends Dave and John (Saredon Terriers).
We had a fabulous year taking her Champion title plus Top Kerry with 8 consecutive Challenge Certificates,
3 Championship show Group First placements, 1 Group second placing, 2 Group thirds and 1 Group fourth.
About myself:
During the 1960’s I owned and exhibited Arkama Airedale Terriers for 6 years, before being completely captivated and taken over by the Kerry Blues. I was involved with showing the Kerries for a few years before breeding my first litter in 1972. Since then I have bred approximately 28 litters, from which it can be seen Arkama is a small kennel in the true sense of the word .
