We are happy to announce that our solid black baby girl, Echowind's Dark Side of the Moon, won her 6 - 9 puppy class both days at the Washington State Specialties under Joanna Rand and Bob Grady. Ms. Rand also gave her the nod as Best Opposite Sex Puppy. She is sired by Ch. Lorien's Park Avenue and her dam is Fircrest EZ Duz It Of Echowind. Thank you's must go to both judges who gave our 6 month old such a nice experience her first time out, to Lee Bellah for handling her and actually getting her to gait nicely once in awhile (she's a bit of a hand full) to the spectators who gave us such nice comments on "Mindy" and to my husband Jim for loving this breed as much as I do. Since this is the first litter I've bred in over 30 years it feels especially good! Gail Gail J.
