No words can express what this litter means to us. SugarRay is for me a beautiful representative of the breed. Bone strength like his is rarely seen, especially in the sable color that has long captured my heart. Lady, the dam, already proved last year that she’s not only an amazing show female but also an excellent breeding female — her previous litter with Lucky (vrh J) completely exceeded my expectations. From the combination of Lady and SugarRay I expect puppies of excellent character, strong bone, good tail, beautiful head and nice movement.
My huge thanks go to all without whom this litter would never have become reality: Cindy Uraynar (Oakiok kennel, USA) — her friendship and advice mean so much to me; Annete & Dave Milburn (Mytuk kennel, Canada) — breeders and owners of SugarRay, who allowed us to use his sperm on Lady; Dr. Konrad Blendinger (HSB-Blendivet UG, Germany), who performed the insemination with excellent results; and Kate Seidl (Shamanrock kennel) — she knows why. And to my whole family for their support.
Both parents have all required health examinations (see pedigree below). Both have been tested for the long-coat gene — SugarRay is a carrier, Lady is not, which guarantees quality coat in puppies and zero chance of long coat puppies.
SugarRay comes from the Mytuk kennel in Canada, as do his sire and grandsire. It’s worth clicking the link to see the impressive show career of his sire „T’ko”. The other half of his pedigree carries excellent dogs from the Taolan kennel. I’ll also mention one of my favorite dogs in his 4th generation — BISS Am Ch. Oakiok’s Final Answer „Regis”.
Lady’s pedigree is very close to me. Her dam Aura comes from my kennel and I also have her grandmother Annie. Lady’s sire „Frodo” Lord of the Rings Appalachian (from Poland, currently Shamanrock kennel CZ) has an impressive show career — within one year he became champion of many countries, Interchampion, World Winner in Paris, and BOB winner of CRUFTS in England.
