Five of the champions have placed in the Working Group and one has received a Best in Show Award. Our founding brood bitch, Ch. Springwater Cover Girl CD, was also owner handled to a Best in Show. Later, we added another brood bitch, Ch. Mogyorodi - Budas Bodza, from Hungary to our lines. One of Bodza sons was the number one dog and the KCA National Specialty Winner in 1997 and 1998. Another son which we bred and showed was the number one dog and the KCA National Specialty winner in 1999.

    Our first Komondor was obtained from Summithill Kennels in 1976. The third Komondor we owned and showed, Ch. Summithill I'm Tuff Stuff UD, is the only Komondor to receive a High in Trial Award in obedience in the United States. Also she is the only   Komondor to receive a Utility Degree (UD) and a High in Trial Award in Canada.

    Our philosophy is to breed dogs that are sound in both mind and body.  A good loving home for our puppies is our highest priority. We have bred on average a little less than one litter a year. Breeding for us is strictly a hobby.
