About Us
Today Paul and Chrystal enjoy a great reputation for not only winning in the ring but also providing a happy comfortable environment for their client's show dogs. Paul is currently the Vice President of the Carroll Kennel Club in Westminster Maryland. He is also a member of the Professional Handlers Association. Sometimes you will see Paul or Chrystal competing at several televised shows such as Westminster Kennel Club on USA Network and the National Dog Show on NBC Thanksgiving Day. Chrystal and Siba the black Standard Poodle won Best In Show at the 2020 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show held at Madison Square Garden in NYC!
Paul bought Happy Hound Hotel in May of 2011 to expand his services. He renamed it Lakeside Pet Resort not only because its near Codorus, but to signal a new beginning. Chrystal married Paul and joined the business in 2014 after moving to Hanover from Canada. Both Paul and Chrystal enjoy applying their talents to the pet care industry. They also enjoy the dogs they meet. Many clients come to Paul and Chrystal with dogs that require special care. They have helped timid dogs become more confident. They have also helped owners deal with aggressive and out of control behavior. Whether grooming, boarding or training a dog, Paul and Chrystal are very patient. Dogs in their care become buddies and look forward to visiting them.
Paul grew up in Maryland while Chrystal grew up near Toronto Ontario.
When not on the road attending dog shows with his mother and
sister, he was working with his father on the family's dairy farm
in Sykesville MD. Paul is no stranger to Hanover. Several of his
show clients are from the area. He also has many friends in the area
making Hanover a regular destination through the years. Both Paul and Chrystal
attend the Keystone Portuguese Water Dog water trials at Codorus
park and enjoy Hanover's rural feel.
In 2020, Paul began an extensive renovation of the kennel. He removed the old chain link indoor kennel
runs and replaced them with beautiful stainless steel panels made by Mason Co. and Shor-Line. Renovations are
continuing into 2021 with new exterior paint and new sealed kennel flooring. The facility is a source of pride
for Paul and Chrystal and they enjoy investing the time and money to keep improving the place.
