My Pack!

Johnny, our Stud, and the 'Dog Love' of my life!  Originally from the Estonian Kennel Union, his lines come from England and Ireland's renowned kennels.  The son of Dewmist Silk Spirit; an accomplished Multi International Champion.  While Johnny's looks would stop you in your tracks to ask me 'what kind of dog is that?', its his amazing sweetness and attitude that make everyone love him the best (don't tell the girls, they think they are the favorites!)  He would never dream of getting dirty. He runs through the yard like a thoroughbred racehorse; you have to stop what you are doing to watch.  http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1281037#animal  Passed eye (CERF) and heart (SAS)  Also as some are requesting..Johnny's DAD  Dewmist Silk Spirit - multi international Champion and the abosolute identical look of Johnny!  You'll see what I mean...  http://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=174531

That picture is now a year old (and I promise to put a new one up soon!)  Johnny has filled out to his full potential and is just a beautiful specimen of a dog!!  I have breeders from all over the country contact me to remark on what a gorgeous creature he is - especially if they know anything about European pedigrees.  Though the English size tends to be a bit smaller - Johnny fits right in with the AKC size standards.  He is sooooo sweet that he wouldn't consider competing with the girls at all.  He won't even chase a tennis ball if they are nearby.........BUT; if you are giving out pats, he has figured out that his body size can be used to his advantage.  He slyly moves in under your arm when you are patting one of the girls and before you know it, you are patting him!!!  This is not recommended when you are kneeling down because he will take the smallest gap between you and whatever girl is getting her loving, and before you know it he is on your lap rubbing his whole body greedily on you!!  What a riot for a passive guy :)

 Snowflake, my little doll baby.  My first English dog.  Came in from Manchester right after that terrorist threat a while back.  Believe me there was some amount of prayer involved in getting her here safely!  She is from start to finish a lover.  Wants to plow her whole body into you, but don't let the cute smile fool you, there is a big clown in there!  Just imagine that picture with a big red nose and a polka dot hat and you will have gotten her personality.  I would have to say she is my fastest and most agile, athletic dog, and has no idea that she is a real looker.  She is mischief from start to finish (and I say mischief because it is all in a comical nature, there is not an obnoxious bone in her body).  She is very sensitive - as her sweet English nature- and can get her feelings hurt easily.  I have actually seen that dog pout for a full ten minutes before when she has gotten in trouble for something.  Her eyes are like looking into the soul of a human!  From a friend and lifetime of experience breeder who has chosen the best lines and dogs of England, Ireland and Scotland and carefully linebred and outcrossed her way into her own style of what is Golden perfection.  Kudos Maria, I can only hope one day to have my lines so perfectly sculpted.  (Did I mention Snowy has a fabulous pedigree as well?) http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1281036#animal Passed eye (CERF) and heart (SAS)

 





Chloe; my friend, partner and confidante!  I swear that dog knows exactly what I am saying to her.  My teenager thinks I am nuts for talking to the dogs and is embarrassed when I do it outside lest the whole neighborhood also think I'm crazy - but I'm am certain that Chloe gets my meaning.  She is a loving patient soul, kind of like the best friend you've known since kindergarten.  She sympathizes when you are stressed, is gleeful when you are happy.  She will patiently wait in the background while everyone is begging for attention (which they will do 24/7 if possible!), and casually walk towards you when the frenzy is over.  If she feels like she has been overly patient and the other guys are taking advantage of her kind nature, she will move closer and lift her paw up to pat you on the leg and remind you that she HAS been waiting patiently!  She is Alpha without having to do a darn thing to enforce it.  Her presence alone tells everyone that while she sits casually back, she is in no doubt IN CHARGE.  I could rub faces with her all day long and I'm not sure if she thinks I'm a human or another dog.

  Snowy is her half sister and she has the same great genetics and nature. http://k9data.com/fivegen.asp?ID=221202&type=hip  (You should know that the Euro clubs have a different governing body and method of evaluation on hips.  It is referred to as the BVA.  They determine the formation of the bones and the tightness of the joint.  Basically the lower the numbers add to, the better.  A total of 20-22 would equal a fair rating from the OFA from what I understand.  You don't want your total higher than that.)


This is our latest edition -Tinkerbell's Pixie Dust.  Came to me as a shy little thing who was really being overrun by her siblings.  Hehe - I have to laugh about shy now, because she is a sweetie with an amazing presence!  She can barely contain herself when pats are going around.  She is rapidly developing the look of Snowflake, though their lines are not all that similar other than they conform to my idea of Standard perfection.  Just look at her Grand Dam Ace's Legacy at Goldenheights in the  photo and a take on what they have to say:

Grand Dam Ace's Legacy at Goldenheights

KERRI MAY BE QUEEN AT GOLDENHEIGHTS BUT SHELLEY IS DEFINITELY OUR LITTLE PRINCESS. SHELLEY HAS A HIGH OPINION OF HERSELF AND BELIEVES THAT SHE IS ENTITLED TO EVERY COMFORT THAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER!  SHE IS OUR "ROCKY DAUGHTER" AND SHARES MANY OF HIS DELIGHTFUL TRAITS, SHE LOVES TO PLAY, WORK & SHOW.  SHE IS A DREAM TO HANDLE IN THE SHOW RING - SHE PRACTICALLY "SETS HERSELF UP" & LIKES NOTHING BETTER THAN SHOWING OFF HER SUPERB MOVEMENT.  SHE HAS DONE WELL AT BOTH CHAMPIONSHIP AND OPEN SHOWS HAVING MANY 1ST PLACINGS AND HAVING WON GREEN STARS.  SHELLEY IS ALSO OUR  "BIRD WARDEN" BOTH AT HOME AND ESPECIALLY ON THE BEACH WHERE SHE ENJOYS MANY HOURS CHASING SEAGULLS - ONE DAY SHE WILL CATCH ONE!

 .....  and her Grand Sire (take deep breath and look!) Royal Salute du Pays de Boheme. 
 Roi is Top Winning Golden in 2006!

He has taken this year 9 x BOB, 1 x BOS, 3 x group 2, 1 x group 3 in Cacib shows!
BIS 1 in a group show for group 2 and group 8!

Because we taught her to sit before anything can happen with her, if you get busy and aren't patting her she will scoot sit her body all over the place to make sure you see that she is sitting politely waiting for her pat.  It is just hilarious.  She can't understand why, if she is sitting, that your hands aren't on her at all times.  What a lover.
