Wait a minute! We bred Zenta to Triumph's Gucci and many of those are still going strong! Ruth has been line breeding back on Zenta and has a beautiful young male named Louie who is really nice! Gordy who is on the PC website header is the beautiful male gaiting with the sheep. I took that when he was about 3. I think Gordy is 10.5 now and still goes to work with Ruth and is the official greeter at the store. He also is in charge of lunch scrap disposal.
