A legend in his own time

The crowning glory of my show career was when my Smooth Fox Terrier 'Amicus Shieldmanns Winscore' won the 2nd Best in Show and 5th Best in Show in Ooty, India 2002 show. I returned in 2003 and he was again placed 7th 8th Best in show respectively.

This made my victory the very special as it is the only authenticated instance where a dog from Sri Lanka has won overseas.

This was reported in 'The Hindu'

Amicus Kennels has been in existence in Sri Lanka since 1986. At Amicus Kennels we have always held the view that quality is far more important than quantity.

As a result you may think that there are not many from these lines around. But the lesser known fact is that without 'Amicus Kennels' Smotth Fox Terriers would have disappeared from Sri Lanka and most probably the Asian region.
As everyone knows today puppy mills are abundant. As a direct result a lot of very unreliable dogs are around. These breeders do not have any care about the temperement of the dogs they breed.

Other than Smooth Fox Terriers we have also bred Standard Smooth Dachshunds. Now we have included English Cocker Spaniels and German Shepard Dogs.
