To start we love our Dogs!

A Little About Us and Our home at Norman Family Funny Farm, the home base for NorDogs Large K9 Friends - NorDogs Saint Bernard's along with NorDogs American Wolf Dogs. We are placed in the country, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mount range, in the Eastern part of Tennessee. We live on a small farm, we grow produce, we have Bunnies, chickens, and a pond with ducks, geese, and Koi. I first got into AKC Showing dogs with my beloved Ashlee,  A Standard Poodle. I got her, Ashlee- my Standard Poodle, out of deep love, I had for my Grandmother and her poodle growing up. I love poodles and they remind me of my Grandmother and the good times I had as a child with her and her dog. They are a smart and intelligent breed with a people-like way about them and well for a little girl they are the best for brushing and hair bows. Ashlee Was a beautiful White Standard Poodle, she enjoyed her life of retirement on our farm after I got ownership of her through contract and showing. Ashlee loved to go out running with the Saint Bernard's in play. Ashlee lived out her life on our farm and passed early 2019 she loved to mother Saint puppies when they were around, although they outgrow her fast. She will forever be part of our farm and is dearly missed! Our Other breed of dog is the American Wolf Dog. My Husband adores the breed, they are a majestic type of animal. Wolf dogs are a somewhat primitive breed with their own kind of intelligence, they are less social than the Saints, but we love them Dearly. Kids and dogs spend their days in the Woods and fields around our home living life to the fullest growing healthy on fresh air and sunshine. My Husband had a Saint Bernard as a kid, but I first saw a real-life Saint Bernard in the show ring. I was drawn to them and fell in love, I wanted to try my hand at showing them. I decided to step up and try it on my own! I started studying pedigrees and lines. I made the decision to get a female that was 2yrs old and was supposed to be Show able. Her name was Jade, she had the looks to be a show dog, but sadly she had never been exposed to show. Jade was too fearful of the show environment to show properly. Many years later we now have a number of Saint Bernard's, of our own line, Thanks to her. Jade gave us two litters, we kept two females, this was the start of our line. We have fun showing our Saint Bernard's and they have fun showing with us. We AKC Show them and dream of one day having a Champion of our very own. We work and associate with other Saint Bernard owners that have and have had a number of champions. Saint Bernard's are a breed we have grown to love and adore deeply they are truly the best fit for our family. We are hooked, to say the least, and have never regretted it. A number of our Saints are Champion Sired and have a number of champions in their lines. We at NorDogs have pointed our Saints but we have yet to finish one out to Champion. The Cost To Champion a Saint Bernard and the Health testing is very high. We put the health testing first and make sure our Saints are Healthy. It takes a great deal of money in travel, Hotels, and show fees to Champion a Saint Bernard. I hope this helps you to get to know a little about us and we invite you to explore this site and see all the photos of our Saint Bernard's, Feel free to contact us.
