Welcome!

Welcome to "My Shadow" Companions!  We are  Silky Terrier and Cairn Terrier breeders in the countryside of Northeast Nebraska.  Our dogs and puppies are very socialized with adults and children and other dogs. We love taking our dogs out and about-to shows & competitions, charity events, and just about town. We are active in AKC Conformation Shows and other terrier trial events and compete around the midwest.

Committment

Our dogs receive the best health care, exams, and preparation for his or her new home.  We work very closely with our vets in all aspects of our terriers. From vaccinations to ultrasounds and prenatal care, our vets help us select the best for our dogs and come right to our kennel to help us do our planning and health checks when needed.  Our vets also consult with us on our exercise program, which includes daily exercise in our outdoor playyards with other dogs that they don't share an indoor run with.  We do genetic testing on our dogs and will gladly provide the results, OFA, or CERF info when needed.

We are constantly continuing our education, with seminars, conventions, breeder boards, and written materials. We have read research by and attended some of the best genetic, structural, canine neonatal and disease seminars offered in the country!

We register our puppies with the AKC. The AKC is committed to the purebred dog and keeping the lineage pure, by not allowing "off the street" registrations as well as furthering education, canine health research, and much more.  

We are club members and in good standing with:

• The Nebraska Dog Breeders Association
• The MidAmerica Working Terrier Association
• The National Alliance of Pet Owners
• The National Animal Interest Alliance
• The Nebraska Farm Bureau

Reputation & Involvement

We were voted NDBA 2005 Breeder of the Year for our efforts with our club, activities, dogs and our accomplisments.   We are Nebraska State Licensed and inspected by both the state, the AKC and our veterinarians. We will be happy to show you our inspection reports!

In January 2009, Amy was one of a group of breeders selected from around the country to attend a breeder meeting at the AKC Headquarters in Raleigh, NC. In that same month, Amy was also active with members of the NDBA Legislative Committee and friends in the United Pet Professionals Association in planning and executing strategies in the Nebraska Unicameral to promote ethical breeding standards, while keeping the rights with responsible breeders and pet owners across Nebraska.

Amy has also served at the NDBA secretary and as a past president of the board of directors for the Northeast Nebraska Humane Society. Currently, she currently serves as a speaker/lobbyist for the Nebraska Dog Breeders Association.

Please let us know how we can help you in selecting your next family pet.  We only place puppies privately with our clients. We love to meet our new families and to develop relationships with them to help them as their puppy grows. We are here to help  you before and after you receive your puppy.

Thank you for spending a little time with us, we hope we can help you!

Amy, Jeff, Isaac, & Autumn Lambrecht
