Sharon and Eugene have a  working ranch in northeastern Oklahoma in the foothills of the Ozarks.  The closest large cities are Tulsa, OK, Ft. Smith, AR, and Fayetteville, AR.   They raise Paint  horses, Brangus cattle, Cardigan Welsh Corgis, and have a few Toy Fox Terriers just for spice.

  Eugene  retired from his position as  Executive Director of the natural gas company of northeastern Oklahoma so that he could have more time to enjoy working with his cattle, horses, and the Cardigans.  Sharon retired after teaching (Science) over twenty years in the public schools of Oklahoma and now devotes most of her time to learning about, caring for, training,  and showing her beloved Cardigans.

The Nottingham's  goal  is to work toward improvement of the breed and  to raise healthy, well-tempered dogs that meet the AKC standard.  

The photos below will give you a peek at the Notzmo kennel facilities:

We have a small, 8 run kennel w/heat and air which is part of the rotation program with our dogs.  Each dog spends time in the yard, kennel, and house.
