As I bred my first Shepherd litter in 2009 please indulge my small brag. I've been involved with Goldens for over 20 yrs I have always had a shepherd or two around over the yrs., Out of my first bred litter I ended with 8 puppies. They just turned 2 in Nov. and I ran a hip/elbow clinic for the golden club. I just got confirmation that out of 6 checked all 6 passed with Hips GOOD and Elbows Normal 5 out of the 8 are in performance/show homes including mine. Two are AKC pointed and both have their IABC International Championships with the male (Fuji) taking two Best In Show back to back at these shows and my girl (Dani) taking Reserve Best in Show Bred By. Two of the boys also have obedience titles. Yesterday in Orlando the fourth one in the litter, my girl Dani, also earned her Temperment Certificate. This Litter was out of my girl Star (Tyson x Laila) (Rockhill Shepherds) and Orion (Melana's Orion) Thanks to Denise Titus for Star, Thanks to Melissa for allowing me to breed Star to Orion, and thanks to Joyce Willis (Myjoy Sheperds) for your friendship, your advice, helping me pick out Star. and big thanks to the owners, Barbie, Cindy, Dan, and Ron Michele Rock Star Shepherds Rock Star Goldens Star, Dani, Rookie and Golden Jade RN BN JH (all before 18mos) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
