Blush resides in Texas with her new owners Elise and David Toohey so congratulations and also to her breeder, Ria Wagner in Germany.

Aries Lone Star has departed on an excellent adventure ! He will be residing with our friend Jacquie Whyte in Calgary, Alberta where he will be trained for his show career. He will be the resident consort of Ch. Aries Rio de Janeiro. So far the reports have been overwhelmingly positive which was only to be expected since Tex is quite a remarkable young dog with possibly the best personality I have ever known in an Afghan. His mom is currently being campaigned to her title as well.

Real Good Feeling of Meadow Valley

2008-03-24T07:34:00.000-07:00

Real Good Feeling of Meadow Valley has begun her show career. We felt she needed to fill out before serious competition so she had a litter first and was a remarkable mom. Her pups by Aries Stars & Stripes inherited the best of both parents with each having contributed their fabulous temperaments. So far in very limited competiton, Blush has won some points and several reserves in the hands of David Osuna who has reported that he is thoroughly impressed with her fabulous showmanship. After she completes her title, Blush will be bred to SBIS Ch. Andros D'art of Performance.

2008-01-19T10:55:00.001-08:00

Perry and I are very happy to add two new owners of our pups from this really special litter and now we just have the pick black male puppy available which is a good position to be in. The chinchilla blue Flex is with Don Vasti on Long Island, NY and the only girl we had for sale, Lucy, is with Emily Hipsh now, down in Alabama near the beach. All of the pups are showing exceptional movement at this age and their conformation is superb ! The blacks reminiscent of their ancestors Ch. Sushila's Love Is and Coastwind Celebration.
