About All Star Dog Lodge & Spaw
With three generations of canine professionalism in a wide variety of dog breeds and sports, All Star Dog Lodge & Spaw has been a longtime dream awaiting to happen for Melissa and her two daughters, Brooke & Kayla. Known as "Team Priddy" in the dogshow world, this mother & daughters team has had much success as a family of groomers and handlers. They also excelled as hobby breeders under the AKC registered prefix of Antigua. Being a top breeder requires illustrating many layers of expertise, from generations of work on genetic goals of perfecting health and structure with soundness, intelligence, and correct temperament, to handling, training, and grooming. They have never stopped reaching for higher goals.
Melissa is a second generation dog breeder/trainer/handler. Learning from her father's hunting and field trial dogs she grew up training, working, and evaluating future gun dog prospects. In her late teens, she acquired a Rottweiler who quickly earned his AKC Championship title. She then became involved in showing, schutzhund training, and importing German ADRK Rottweilers. When she married Rob and had plans for a family, she wanted to find a breed that still had German brains and ability. The Standard Poodle was a perfect fit with being a gun dog, working dog, show dog, and companion dog. In 1999 she purchased her first Poodle. It took three different attempts to finally find a Poodle worthy of becoming the foundation of her breeding program. Aside from Standard Poodles, her daughters, Brooke and Kayla, became involved in breeding and showing both varieties of Chihuahuas & also Chinese Cresteds. They have also pointed &/or titled several toy breeds such as Pomeranians & Pekingese, along with Terriers, Hounds, Sporting, & some Working breed dogs. Some of their dogs have been seen nationwide at Invitational Eukanuba Championships & Westminster, UKC shows, & agility events. All of their canine adventures have led them full circle back to offering experienced and professional services to local dog owners who demand the best quality grooming & care for their dogs.
