Hi Nancy, You're absolutley right about ALVINNNNNNNNN! We were fortunate to have been allowed to breed to him and got 4 sable males. We bred our CH. Detmer's Mohogany (Jakestar daughter) to the big guy. Currently we are showing one of his sons, Keggi Fair's Simon Says, out of that litter. He's a big hunk too and did pretty well at the National this year. Alvinnnnnnn and his people have stayed in our home many times. The big red boy is the most gentle, loveable guy you could ever want. And yes your sable girl is a beauty too...don't we all love those sables? Years ago I had the previlege of breeding to another beautiful sable dog....Seville of Rikor owned by Sally Hayden. I was luck to have been bred a very nice sable bitch ...out of him and our Keggi Fair's Forever Fallon CD, her name was CH Keggi Fair's About Time. JUST Love those sables! Current planning is breeding our CH Mohogany to CH BadBoy. Gotta love his shoulder. Hoping for a bunch of sable girls!
