Sunshine Products Welcome to Poolside Toys where our dogs are members of the family. Poolside Toys is a very small show kennel. We have had the privilege of acquiring our first Japanese Chin, Kimberly, from her breeders, Marie and Harold Langseth, Langcroft Kennels, followed shortly by Mattie, breeder Gale Rivers. Additional foundation dogs, Charlie, breeders Marie and Harold Langseth, Kinsey, breeder Gale Rivers and Magic, breeder Tony Galliano complete our crew. Our original Toy breed was Pomeranians but with the health issues in this breed we have chosen not to have any more Pom litters. Our goal remains breeding for health and breeding to the standard.
Poolside is the younger sister kennel of our first show venture -- TipTop Terriers. We are the proud breeders of 14 West Highland White Terrier Champions, owners of 5 more Westie Champions and 1 Norfolk Champion. Our wins have included National and Regional Specialties and the Breed at Westminster. Our last Westie living at home, CH. TipTop's Baccarat, died unexpectedly on June 4, 2003. Please see Gone But Not Forgotten.
On rare occasions, puppies or older dogs are available to approved homes. All dogs sold as pets are either spayed or neutered before they leave our home, or if not old enough, agreement to neuter by the new owner is required. All dogs are sold with "first right of refusal" for the life of the dog.
Breeding for health means to us that we take careful stock of pedigrees and that we remove from our breeding program those dogs with a high likelihood of producing genetically transmitted problems. We are in the process of testing all breeding stock for soundness of patellas, eyes, and hearts. We highly support the recently created Canine Health Information Center (CHIC), a centralized canine-health database which will maintain test information recommended by the parent clubs such as the Japanese Chin Club of America.
