I'm Lil C., the breeder behind Bear Dance OES located in California. Our program has produced excellent show ring and performance dogs, but we’re equally proud of all the dogs that we’ve placed in loving homes as family companions since 1970. All 3 of my children have shown in Jr. Handling with their favorite breed an OES. All of our breedings is to maintain the OES temperament.
