Welcome to Stonefell Kennels.

We have been involved with dogs and the dog world for over 14 years now. It all started in Germany with the purchase of our first dog, a male GSD. He was an amazing dog and traveled with us all over the world. Then in Norway in 1996, while attending a training class, I watched a little red terrier tackle our 110 lbs. GSD and a love affair with terriers was born! I started with Cairn Terriers, and in 3 short years had acquired another 3 dogs. All Cairns of course! During this time, I started showing in Europe and traveling to the terrier mekka of the world, England. It was at Crufts, where I first spotted the Irish and it took me another 7 years to get one of my own. Now we share our home with 2 retired Cairns and 2 Irish on a permanent basis.

Besides being involved in the dog show world I work part-time as a dog trainer and I am in the process of finishing my certification through the American/Canadian Pet Dog Trainers Association. APDT/CAPPDT for short. I became involved with this organization mainly because they are the only association that actually certifies trainers and they are committed to positive/reward based training.

So, again welcome to Stonefell Kennels and take a look around. We hope you enjoy our site!
