Chessies
Dina and Barnes, along with
Ramona and Shadow are due late August. Lauren was bred to OZ, pups due 9/26;
this is Lauren's 1st litter. We are still waiting for a Daphne breeding. It looks like
Daphne season sometime in August, maybe September. If this is
the case, we will have 1 litter ready to go for Xmas! All
great combinations. It seems "Mother Nature" really likes to play games!
Xanadu D.D. Dallas
CH Xanadu Ozymandias Reigns
Dallas and Oz were bred 4/25/08; pups
were born 6/28; 1 female 3 males, all brown. Both Dallas and Oz are OFA good,
and will produce goods and excellents.They are both proven producers and should have
great pups; ready for the hunt, show ring or anything else you ask of them.
These babies will be ready to go to their new homes the 3rd week of August.
There will be a repeat breeding in Spring, 2009.
In the Ripley/Oz litter there are 1
male available; 1 show; Espresso; Born 6/07.
Ch Xanadu Wing-Ding Ramona
Ch Xanadu Lemont Cranston Ch Xanadu Daphne
Forest Nymph
Ramona and Shadow were bred 6/24/08,
but it did not take. So we are waiting for Daphne to come in season. If she
comes in season before Ramona (4 months), Shadow will be bred to Daphne. Daphne
is a daughter of Ivy and Bo, a Chesabar champion stud. Daphne is a very
substantial girl, medium brown in color and is the sister of OZ. She should be a
great producer, like her brother. Either way, Shadow will be bred to either
Daphne or Ramona and this time it'll get done! This will be Shadow's 1st breeding.
He is very dark brown, is well proportioned and has great hips. We are anxious
to see what they will produce; we expect some real beauties. Shadow is out of
Ripley and Pondhollow's "Berry"; the top stud in the nation for 2 years. Shadow
is a wonderful hunter, so we expect good things from these two.

Long Feather "Barnes"
Dina is dark brown with tan points.
Her coloration is completely legal and very desirable. Barnes is light brown
in color, OFA excellent, and is a well trained hunt dog. Barnes was
professionally trained in Colorado and can hunt regardless the terrain. Barnes
is a very substantial male weighing 95 pounds of solid muscle. Both CERFs are clear. Our line is very solid. This will be
Dina's 2nd litter. Dina is the daughter of Ch Xanadu Beryl Ivy and CH Dunhills
Tarquin. They were bred on June 24th; pups to arrive 8/25/08.
Dina produced a rainbow litter last year with Bogie; we can't wait to see what
she'll produce this year. Dina was x-rayed 8/19 and looks to have at least 9
pups, my guess is there may be more! I don't need any new records!
Xanadu Bacall's Just Whistle
CH Xanadu Ozymadias Reigns
Lauren is the sister of "Bogie", is
out of Ripley and Decoy and is absolutely stunning. She is a deep brown with no
markings. She was bred to OZ 7/27; pups due 9/24. They should
produce some magnificent pups. Lauren has 1/2 her champion points and will be
finished sometime in 2008/09. These pups will make fine hunters; both the dam and
sire have tremendous drive.
CH Xanadu Beryl Ivy
Xanadu Maltese Falcon Decoy
Bogie and Ivy were bred the 3rd week of June, 2007.Pups were
born 8/21 are are beauties. 1 male available. Bentley is a warm brown and very
sweet. He would make a fine companion/hunt dog. He loves children. This is Ivy's
last litter.
Golden Retriever Breeding
Lily, dam, these are current pictures but hope to get
better ones! Henry, sire:
CH Apollo Watermark
We will do a natural breeding around 8/15 with Henry, another
great champion, from Mary Tatum's and Ellen Wilson's lines. Henry is the
son of Ellen Wilson's "Bourbon". Pups will be born 2 months, about the
middle of October, after she
is bred.
This will be Lily's final breeding. We're hoping for more females this time.
Lily had 2 successful natural breedings and is due 10/16; pups will be ready to
go right before Xmas. Henry is a proven stud with a terrific pedigree and has
produced many fine pups.
