About Us

Our breeding program has been quite successful.  We have produced Best in Show dogs in the U.S. and overseas.  In 2010, we had two littermates ranked in the Top 10 Breed and All-Breed in the U.S. -  GCHG Otein Cap'N Jack Sparrow "Jack" and GCHS Otein's Tommy Bahama "Tommy".  Jack was ESSFTA runner-up show dog of the year in both 2010 and 2011, and an all-breed Best in Show winner.  We also bred FCI Intl Multi Ch Otein N' Talking Eyes Magnitude "Casino" who is a champion in Croatia, Bosnia and South Africa.  Casino is also an all-breed Best in Show winner overseas.  We have dear friends and co-owners Jerry & Jean Ryser (Jack), Boris Pegan & Joan Wittingham (Casino) to thank for Jack's & Casino's success.  CH Otein in Shangri-La "Haven" was an ESSFTA Top 10 bitch in 2006 & a specialty Best in Show winner.  As well as, CH Otein's Realize the Dream "Pete" who won a specialty Best in Show from the Veteran class at 10 years of age.  And, brothers GCHG Otein Cap'N Jack Sparrow and GCHS Otein's Tommy Bahama are also multi-specialty Best in Show winners.  GCHS Otein's Tommy Bahama was the AKC #1 Owner Handled ESS in 2014. Tommy was awarded the first ever Best Owner Handled Dog in Show award at the 2014 ESSFTA National and an Award of Merit.  GCHB Otein's Effervesence was the #4 bitch in the AKC Breed standings in 2017 completely breeder/owner handled at the age of 8 years old after raising 2 litters and producing 5 champion and grand champion get.  She was an All-Breed Owner Handled Best in Show winner as a Veteran like her sire GCHB Otein's Tommy Bahama.  And, she was the AKC #1 Owner Handled bitch in 2018 at 9 years old.  We're proud to have produced several generations of top ranked, specialty  and all-breed Best in Show winners!
