Julre Kennels is located in Waynesville, Missouri in the heart of Ozark country.
We have been actively showing and breeding since the 1980's.
My first love is the Cocker Spaniel, but really enjoy my Frenchies as well.
My Pointers were originally for my kids who were junior handlers at the time.

I am a Breeder and I think this sums it up perfectly when others want to know what the difference is between a 
"Breeder" and a "Puppy Producer"

"Breeder" a reputable person breeding dogs for conformation, sporting, working, therapy,search/rescue, 
obedience, military service, companion, etc.; and always putting health,
temperament and overall well being of the dogs first.

"Producer" persons breeding dogs for the purpose of making money

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"  or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog."

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"  but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog,"  
and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome
the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend,"
"just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust,  and pure unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,  
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away  from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog",  
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being  "just a man or woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"  just smile...  because they "just don't understand."
