Lakotah About Us

He who is our Grandfather and Father has established a relationship with my people the Sioux. It is our duty to make a rite which should extend this relationship to the different people of different nations. May that which we do here be an example to others!

Through these rites a three-fold peace is established: The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere. It is within each of us. This is the real Peace, and the others are but reflections of this.

The second peace is that which is made between two individuals. And the third is that which is made between two nations.

But above all, you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.

May my brothers, the Lakotah people of today, remember this... Hóyewaye!

Lakotah Kennels was founded on the three-fold peace of the Lakotah Nation, to simply form another nation of peace between man and the Bouvier des Flandres as part of the universe of Man.

At Lakotah Kennels we strive to develop a reputation of producing dogs that are both champions in the ring, have working ability and wonderful companions in the home!

Because we know that a dog's show career is only a small part of his life, we focus our breeding program on producing dogs with excellent health and great temperaments. We are commited to breeding dogs with fabulous temperaments and sound structures in accordance with the American Kennel Club breed standard. This means not only breeding selectively, but whelping all our puppies in the home. Lakotah pups are raised and socialized in a family environment, making them not only beautiful, healthy dogs, but wonderful pets ready to become valued members of your family.
