Puppies
   
  

We will be breeding for one and possibly two litters in the spring of 2012 - watch this site for details and dates!  Libby will be bred to a new champion silver sire in 2012, and we would expect black and  silver puppies.   We will also be breeding a neice of Adam, "Lulu", on her next heat (timing not certain!).  This litter could produce black, blue and white puppies, depending on the sire. 
 
Libby whelped a litter of six on Memorial Day, 2011.  We had three boys and three girls.  They were a healthy and beautiful litter, and are now all in their new homes.
   
Lindsey whelped June 23, under difficult circumstances of a fire and a forced evacuation  from our trainer's facility in Texas.   Lindsey has provided us with exactly what we were looking for with her very first litter, and she has now earned her retirement as a companion.

Are you interested in becoming a foster owner of a young adult female breeding prospect?  If you live in the Southern or Central Oregon, or Northern California, areas and are interested in this program, let us know, as we occasionally have lovely females that are available this way, and are completely yours after up to two breedings (they return to our home to whelp). 

  Our breeding sires and dams are:

      Ch. Aleph American Idol, TP - "  Simon"
We first saw this spectacular dog at the Donnchada Kennels when we acquired Lindsey, and decided on the spot that he needed to be in our breeding program! His pedigree and qualities make him a perfect fit to add to our line. and we could not rest until we acquired co-ownership. We have not gotten this excited about a stud ​dog since Adam! We wish this picture could show you how he moves.   Simon has started a two-year European specials career with Huffish Kennels, and will return to be shown in the US in 2013.  

Simon is shown at the left in November, 2011,at the largest show in Norway  - over 7000 entries! - where he won both Variety and Group!  He repeated these wins, and then took BIS-3, at his next show with 8000 entries.  Simon will next show at Crufts in London, after which he will  complete at PCA 2012.

Until Simon returns, we have two of his  offspring that we will be showing as puppies in 2012 - Ardent Idol Gossip  (out of Lindsey), and Ardent Idolize Me out of a dam by Adam's full brother Dexter.

​                                                 "Libby"

​                                               Reg. # PR11067003
​                                                    CHIC #63381

  ​           Libby is the dam of 2010 and 2011 litters.  In 2012 she will be    bred to Ch. Alzia Takes The Stage, a young and very accomplished silver champion.  Libby has a silver sire, and she has obviously inherited this silver gene.   We have always wanted to see if she would produce silver, and we have now found the perfect silver mate.

Lane Classy Obsidian - "  Lulu "

We plan to breed this lovely blue girl on her next heat which we hope to be spring of 2012.  Lulu is from a long line of distinguished champions,  has the sweetest disposition imaginable, and a very classy way of carrying herself - she is well named.  Watch this page for an announcement of her mate.
