CAVA-POO-CHONS

Steve Rogers succeeded at startup and operation of several businesses; traveled across the U.S. as a Project Manager for major environmental engineering companies to manage multi-million dollar remediation contracts; and started/operated Timshell Farm. Steve established a beautiful, organic pecan orchard in central Texas, as well as building and operating our quality dog raising for specialty triple-crossbreed puppies. Steve owned and operated a very successful transmission specialty repair shop in Boulder, Colorado for 8 years, AAA Boulder Transmissions, and was voted Mechanic of the Year by Boulder residents in 1985.

In 2001, Steve built our lovely pole-barn house on the farm, having never built anything besides a set of bookshelves! This home was built by hand, completely by Steve (including all plumbing, wiring, air conditioning, carpentry, the works!) Photo above, left. House was built with 90% recycled materials. Photo above right is our former home in Arizona, in Happy Jack.

I worked as a technical editor and document manager for engineering firms; worked in the New Mexico State Senate and State Supreme Court; and co-authored butterfly breeding manuals with Nigel Venters and Paul Chesterfield. I enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors for the International Butterfly Breeders Association for a number of years. I love my current work now with my husband, Steve, with therapy dog organizations.

We have just moved in to a new house in Albuquerque, NM and have a beautiful new facility for our dogs. Here is where families come to visit and select their puppies when they are 7 weeks of age.

We have traveled together, and lived in many wonderful places like Santa Fe, New Mexico; Boulder, Colorado; Punaluu, Hawaii; New York; Houston, Texas, Corsicana, Texas, Happy Jack, near Pine, Arizona, and now Albuquerque, NM. We have two grown sons, William and Matthew. Matt often works with us on the farm and loves the dogs and puppies.
