The litter evaluation for Brodie/Kachina was special for me because we were also doing our Carter/Phenix litter the same day. I've always been a big fan of Brodie (Cash's sire) and his beautiful movement, but even more especially of Kachina (Cash's dam) for her EXCELLENT "old line" type and for how much she resembled my first Shiloh, Sarge. They were both very young dogs when in the ring together. :) Oh....the memories!

And now we have the extremely impressive Cash! He's a fabulous and very typey boy, beautiful movement, super energetic and enthusiastic. It's been awesome to watch this dog mature into the beautiful specimen that he's become, and he's got another year or two before he'll really fill out! There's no question why he does so well at the shows, winning Best in Specialty Show at our National 2010, and sweeping most other shows this past year! But it's even more important to me that he's got such a lovely temperament too! Cash has the height, bone, temperament, movement and overall type that I look for. He's the whole package for Poppy.

I've already written a lot about Poppy on my website, in addition to having many videos of her during her various ages and activities. But to sum her up, she has an exceptional side-gait, a "perfect" (really-truly) tail, beautiful thick muzzle and head structure while still showing her feminine secondary characteristics, a strong earset, VERY dark eyes, and a drop dead gorgeous red-black sable coat. She's passed her beautiful hues on to the majority of the pups from her first litter with Chain, and I expect to see these rich tones in her pups by Cash too. With the much sought after "Carter" as her sire, and the incredibly big boned Artus Look-A-Like "Makeeda" as her dam, Poppy has a lot going for her!

Both Poppy and Cash have OFA 'EXCELLENT' hips, normal elbows and hearts. Poppy also has a "Normal" TLI score, is Brucellosis "negative" and OFA "Normal" for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), meaning she is not a carrier and will not produce this in her progeny. We should be locking in perfect tails, good ears, fantastic color, beautifully balanced temperament, type and health.
