BARTON Barton most recently went from Coronary RN to Coronary patient having a 5 vessel bypass. He is recuperating at home and caring for dogs and babies. Barton plans to return to work as a nurse in mid February. Barton worked as a Travel Nurse most recently on contract to Pitt County Memorial in Greenville, NC and Virginia Commonwealth's Coronary ICU in Richmond, VA. Barton attempts to travel home between work weeks. Barton was in Joliet, IL at Provena Saint Joseph's Neurosurgical ICU under contract with Axis Healthcare Staffing. Barton has worked for TravMed as a Traveling Nurse specializing in CVICU and Neuro Surgical ICU's Barton Has been practicing as a Registered Nurse for 10 years, 8 years as a traveler. Barton's first love for Great Danes was begun with Docktor Von Meistersinger, a black male whelped by the notable and well known breeder Toni Pratt of Meistersinger Kennels in Louisville Kentucky. "Doc" died tragically at the early age on 18 months with a cardiac anomaly. The grief from the loss of "Doc" prevented further pets for over 20 years. At the inception of Caesia Dius Great Danes in 2004, Barton made a commitment to the breed with "Angel", our first blue great dane. Further Barton's commitment was to never be "out of Great Danes" ever again. So far, mission accomplished. Barton works in all aspects of day to day kennel operations, but specifically focuses' on Web Design, advertising, contracts and sales of puppies. Breeding stock selection and breeding are shared tasks between Barton and his wife Kathlyn. Bartons' other duties at 116 Dorris Drive are father to Jacob and Josie and husband to Kathlyn, as well as maintenance man and other assorted Honey do's |
KATHLYN Kathy works full time for Airtex Products in Fairfield. She has been an Airtex associate for 18 years. Kathy's family has been together with Barton for 9 years now. Kathy is mother to Jacob and Josie and the Daddy. Kathy's involvement with Great Danes started in 2004 with the introduction of "Angel". Angel was Kathy's first ever house dog. Having such a large dog in the house was initially a culture shock for Kathy but she is now accustomed to having the large breed dogs in the house. Kathy's special favorite is our Jaguar Margarejro from Poland. Jaguar's personality has captured Kathy's heart and she "keeps him under her wing". Kathy's involvement with Caesia Dius Great Danes includes all day to day operations. Her main areas of involvement are feeding nurturing and exercising our dogs. She is very hands on in the breeding, whelping and training of puppies. Kathy advises Barton regularly on many issues both in and out of the kennel. Our dogs call her affectionately, "The Momma". |
JOSIE Josie is Barton and Kathy's daughter. She is very involved in taking care of our dogs. Josie has shown great interest and initiative with this most recent litter. She has been active caring for and whelping puppies. Josie has shown, maturity, judgement and independent thinking caring for the puppies. Josie get assigned a lot of the pick up clean up activities and has done very well in helping Barton and Kathy. Josie will finish her school year soon and looks forward to summer. She enjoys all outdoor activities, playing with her friends. Josie, like all of us enjoys camping when time permits. |
JACOB Jacob is Barton and Kathys' son. He is 15 and attended school recently at Chaddock in Quincy, IL. Jacob has experienced much growth and maturity. Jacob came home Christmas 2010 and attends Fairfield High School. Jacob has been involved with our dogs since 2004 when "Angel" first came home.
