Our New Babies!

We bred our beautiful Megan daughter;

CH. VJK Point Made for Khrispat's - " Bella" to

BISS AUST GRAND CHAMPION Trupoint Hierarchy, also known as "Mickey".

Yes, we imported semen from this beautiful dog that literally took our breath away. We are proud to be the first to have Mickey babies in the USA. To make a very long story short. Val found him while surfing the web late one night. Our correspondence began and after pictures, pedigrees and video's, we made the decision that we wanted to incorporate him into our breeding program. We imported enough for three breedings. Val was able to arrange a trip to Austalia last year and meet Mickey in person. She had the honor of stacking him and moving him at the shows she attended last year in Melbourne. He is everything we had hoped he would be and more. His wonderful disposition was the icing on the cake of a beautifully put together dog, with the breed details we had been searching for.

Keep watching as we continue to update more pictures of Mickey and his first USA babies.
