Ace is our big baby in the family. He was purchased at approximately 6 months of age from a show breeder on the western slope. Ace did well in the show ring, but did not really like it. The decision was made to retire him. We had intended to use him at stud, but he has inhalant allergies and we, in all good conscience, could not take the chance that he would pass that trait on to his offspring. Therefore, we neutered him and he has remained with us as a much loved and spoiled pet.

"Soloman" or "Sollie" was a puppy out of our beautiful Purr and by CH Kinni Oz v. Kubistraum. Sollie was named after my dear friend, Barbara, who passed away the day after this litter was whelped. Sollie was shown very successfully as a puppy. However, due to my divorce and not being able to care for so many dogs, in 1997 Sollie was neutered and placed in a companion home. He lived a long and full life with his new owners.

Dakota was the first German Shepherd Dog that I bought. She was incredibly smart and she finished her obedience title quickly. She was the perfect "starter" dog as she easily forgave my mistakes while training her. We bred Dakota three times and she had wonderful puppies which were all placed in great companion homes. Unfortunately, since our goal was to develop our own line and keep a puppy with the goal of continuing to show and Dakota was unable to produce a puppy better than herself, the very difficult decision was made to spay her and place her in a companion home. She lived a long and healthy life and she is missed greatly.

Damon came to us through a breeder in Wisconsin at 3 1/2 years of age. He quickly charmed us with his gentle nature and sense of humor. Since he had been a "kennel" dog, he had to be taught how to play and to play with toys. As long as we knew him he always "pounced" on his toys like a puppy. He was very endearing. Unfortunately, he had elbow dysplasia and so we had to neuter him and he became a much loved companion. In 1994 he was placed with a wonderful family where he was spoiled for the rest of this life. Damon passed away in October of 1999. Please see our memorial page for our tribute to Damon.

Rhini is a bitch that we bred out of our beloved Purr by CH Kinni-V Oz v. Kubistraum. She was sold as a puppy to a show home. Rhini's son, Kolby, is currently being shown and has almost finished his conformation championship. I handled Rhini at shows and so did my step-son, Kevin. Rhini is an intelligent bitch, and has made her owners very happy. She has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, please view our In Memoriam page for her tribute.
Date of Birth: April 8, 1999
Kolby was shown sparingly in his early life and has now retired from the show ring and loved by his family. His dam is Chenoa's Great Adventure (shown above) and his sire is CH Jagan's Valentino.
