Our breeding philosophies include keeping both sides of our pedigrees balanced in quality, so that the offspring produced can continue to pass down their merits to subsequent generations. We feel true consistency can only be achieved by holding each Pom in our breed program, whether they be male or female, to the same standards of excellence in regard to type, structure, outline, movement, temperament, coat, size, and overall health.

We are very proud with our limited breeding of one to three litters per year, and in a kennel that always remains under ten Poms in total, to have been able to breeder-owner handle multiple group placers and champions, which include both males and females who have garnered Best Of Breed wins from the classes, over top ranked male specials.

Our accomplishments in the show ring include being named among the APC’s top exhibitors for 2009. We are equally as proud in recent years to have co-owned and handled a Thai daughter named Daisy to her ranking as the #4 bitch in the nation. We were also awarded the title of Virginia’s top breeder and exhibitor with Paris receiving top dam honors, and her daughter Frenchie being the #1 Pom bitch. Another achievement we take great pride in is the distinction of our first ROM producer in Chad, who continues to be listed among the top sires in the nation.

In addition to our conformation successes, the Achilles Pomeranians participate in obedience and agility competitions and we are proud to have produced multiple title holders in these disciplines as well.

Our current Poms, we believe, represent the ideals we strive for and we will continue our steadfast pursuit of improving our breed program year after year. With hopes that our future successes will contribute to a bright future for the breed as a whole.
