 My name is Steve Kelly and I live in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I have been involved in dogs since 1977. I started out with Afghan Hounds (still have them) and have bred and shown under the kennel name of Electra. I have bred several specialty winners including a BISS winner from the classes. It was while showing the Afghans that I saw my first Crested. It was a powderpuff that was in the group ring when the breed was first recognized. I thought it looked like a miniature Afghan and decided I had to have one. Well, that one led to more and now I breed and show them under the Puffin kennel name. To date I have bred over 40 crested champions. I have finished eight of those from the bred-by class. In 1998 I bred and showed the winners dog at the national specialty in San Diego, and in 2005 I had the reserve winners bitch at the national specialty in Dallas. My life that supports the dogs is that I am an elementary school principal in addition to teaching at New Mexico State University. I am also an AKC licensed judge. I am a member of the American Chinese Crested Club and have served as president and vice-president.  "Zapper"  Patti Buckelew / HOLLIWOULD All Graphics On These Pages Are By
