Geraldo: Three Years of Age
Photo by Mike Fine
On January 20, 2005, our
first litter was born, and Geraldo is one of the puppies that
we're growing out from that litter. Geraldo was the third puppy
born, and he was loud and flashy from the get go! He was already
nursing vigorously before his dam had even removed the lower
half of his sac.
We love this handsome bi-blue boy! He is a wonderful blend of
both his sire (A/C Ch Kelbren Blue Flame,
CD, RN, NAJ, AJP) and his dam (Shamont
Most Unusual Day, major pointed). He loves to fetch and will
chase a ball until your arm just can't take it any more! <G>
We've had a wonderful time showing off Geraldo in the conformation
ring this summer. When he's a bit more mature, we hope that Geraldo
will be our first homebred champion.
Geraldo has always been quite photogenic, and we've really enjoyed
charting his development via pictures. Here are some of our favorite
photos of him:

be food in here somewhere!" <G>

a show dog is hard work!"

Geraldo just might
be a future VCX for us!

Geraldo has been having lots of fun in the agility ring.
See
the "What's New" page for
details! Please check back often for new photos and updates on
what Geraldo has been doing.
Geraldo
is a proven sire. His first litter was an all bi litter,
and two bi-black females from that litter are being grown out as
show hopefuls.
FLASH: Geraldo
was Winner's Dog under Judge William Usherwood for his first two
points on Mother's Day 2007!!
Those were our first homebred points, and we're very excited
about them. Additionally, Geraldo has two 4-point specialty
major reserves under Lisa Graser and Lloyd Graser Jr. and
several all breed reserves as well. After having taken most of
the Fall/Winter off to do agility, we're looking forward to
getting Geraldo back in the conformation ring this
Spring/Summer.
