instead of jewelry and perfume for birthdays and Christmas,  I get 'chrome'!

My husband John and I have a small show kennel called CornerStone Saint Bernards, on 6 acres in the Town of Darien Center located just east of Buffalo, New York...brrrrrr....
John owns a Crown and Bridge Dental Laboratory, where I work part time.
We have two adult children. Our oldest Jacqueline, is a Private Investigator. Our son John III  also works in the dental lab.  John's wife, Lindsay is a high school English teacher  John and Lindsay and John have given us our 1st beloved Grandchild'.  Her name is Aurora Nicole Balikowski,  Born February 21, 2009.  And she is just perfect.
Our story begins a little more than 26 years ago when we brought home our first Saint Bernard, Brandy. Immediately we fell in love with this breed. Brandy, was devoted and loyal living up to the Saint Bernard reputation. After learning more about this breed, we decided to expand our little family and included more Saints to our growing clan. From this moment on, fate continued to point us in the direction of our passion for this wonderful breed.  As a child I had shown my Scottish Terrier, named Dolly  at 4-H and AKC Dog Shows in Jr. Handling,  Confirmation and Obedience. With the childhood experiences of showing I decided I wanted to 'show quality' Saints. I continue to show successfully at many local and national AKC dog shows. Over the years our Saints have won numerous awards and honors that showcase this fine breed. Presently we have eleven Saints.  Four of which are Champions and 1 is major pointed. We have had a few more Champions that are now at the Rainbow Bridge.  There are also some youngsters here that will be seeing the show ring soon.
I am currently a member of St Bernard Club of America and I am in charge of advertising for the Saint Fancier magazine.   I am also a member of  The Saint Bernard Club of the Finger Lakes of which I am a board member, and have held the position of secretary and newsletter editor. Additionally I have entered our Saints in AKC  Weight Pulling. My dogs and I also attend weekly dog training classes in obedience and confirmation.  John and I have attended numerous lectures and training seminars on the breed history, reproduction, canine health and nutrition, behavioral and breed confirmation.  We have attended 6 of the Saint Bernard Club of America's National Shows. 

 

Our other passion is riding our motorcycles.  What else....Harley Davidson...American Made.

When I get presents...they're CHROME not gold!

 

It's all about the chrome!
