Locklan Kennels is located in Tidewater, Virginia. I am proud of my Norfolk
Terriers and Pugs. I am
Meg Lockwood, the owner of Locklan Kennels. However, my children (now
grown) Michael and Katie have both helped me make my dogs special with
socializing and training. I have had show dogs since 1975 and had the
Norfolk Terrier and Pug since 1995. Larry and Jutta Beard, owners of Heuberg
Pugs, have
been mentors for me. The Beards have been breeding and showing Pugs for
over 20 years. I am very grateful for their help in getting me into the
Pug World.
Both
my Norfolk Terriers and my Pugs are shown in the breed ring, as well
as agility and obedience. My "Winnie" -
Ch. Southhampton’s Winnie the Pooh CD NA was the first Norfolk
Terrier to get an AKC agility title. My Pug, "Gigi" -
Ch. Heuberg Gilbey’s Gin has 5 Agility titles. Her daughter, "Libby" has
two agility titles plus a Rally Novice title.
I also expose my older Norfolk Terriers to Earth
dog and have them Therapy Dog Certified. I work
as a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) therapist
and can take a dog to work with me or on a Therapy
Dog visit to the inpatient unit. My daughter Katie,
also a LCSW, enjoys training her her
Pug "Star". Star was recently awarded
both her CGC (Canine Good Citizenship) and her
Therapy Dog Certificate.
I am a nationally Certified Pet Dog Trainer
and teach puppy and adult dog classes. My teaching
is very positive, using clicker and food rewards
to get happy compliance from the dogs.
I have competed in obedience to the UD level,
shown in agility and rally. I have taught at
Merrimac Dog Training club for the last ten years.
I teach small semi- private and private classes
weekly. Along with Marilyn Sanders, I help write
Pug Talk’s “Teacher’s Pet” a
training article. I am a member of the Norwich
and Norfolk Club of America and the Pug
Dog Club of America.
My goal is to breed a sound, clever dog that
will win in the conformation ring and be trainable
for companion events.
