SECOND MAJOR FOR FLEX

Congratulations to Don Vasti and Sharon Ferraro, the owners of Flex, on his second major following quickly on the heels of his first. Perry and I are naturally very happy human grandparents. Here are some new pictures, in this one, he's being stacked by Anna Stromberg outside the ring.

His owner and trainer is Jacquie Whyte and he was handled by Shaunna who also campaigned Group winning Ch. Soleil. Congratulations to a winning team ! Tex's mother (Blush) is also very close to her title, needing a small major to finish. His father is Aries Stars & Stripes also known as Sam.

Wistie Is Back !!!

After a brief absence from the Group rings, Ch. Aries Wisteria Carousel is showing better than ever & has placed three times in the last two weeks. Yesterday she went Group 2 handled by Alison. Congratulations Team Wistie !

Real Good Feeling of Meadow Valley is now more than half way to her title after winning her first major and going BOS each of the three days this past weekend ably handled by Mr. David Osuna. 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

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.

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. Here is a picture of Sky's ( sire of our puppies) sister.

Sky & Sobe's puppies were born on the 30th of August. Seven boys and three girls. Congratulations to the new owners of three of the boys, Aries Monserrat with Marysue Altman, Sky Warrior in Delaware and Mavros in New Mexico. Perry and I co-bred the litter and we thank Kelly Ray for leasing their mom to us.
