Gold Camp Kennels originated in Cripple Creek, Colorado in the 1960's. The original owners, Jay and Kathy Adams, chose the name Gold Camp because Cripple Creek was a mining town during the gold rush. In 1975, I purchased my first springer from the Adams, named Prince Kiota of Gold Camp U.D. He was not a breed dog, but excelled in obedience, and became Gold Camp's first utility dog. When I decided to get another springer the Adams decided to get out of dogs, so they gave the Gold Camp name to me. My second springer, and the one I consider my foundation bitch, became Ch. Gold Camp Morningstar. She produced my first Top Ten springer (the first of many). In 1981, I purchased Ch. Southwind's Magic Kira, C.D.X. Kira went on to be among the top ten springers in breed competition in both 1983 and 1984. I have produced over 20 champions to date with many more to finish. Kira was the first of many Jester springers to come to Gold Camp. At Gold Camp I strive to produce a healthy, stable dog that can go into anyone's home and be a loving companion. Since the majority of the dogs I breed become family pets, as well as show dogs, temperament is my #1 priority. That has been my goal and will continue to be as long as I breed these wonderful dogs.
