We are pleased to announce the litter of our bitch Gem (Carmichael's Precious as Rivoir Gem) and Joey (CH Wht Rk B’Dazzled By A Knight, CD MX MXJ CGC ROH VERSATILITY GOLD).  We expect very sound puppies, in structure, health and temperament.

Joey became an American champion at 14 months of age, passed his CGC at 9 months old, earned his CD (Obedience Companion Dog title) and also a place in the Registry of Honor of the STCA at just a little over 18 months of age.  He went on to compete in Agility and became the only conformation champion in the breed to date to achieve both the Master Excellent Agility and Master Excellent Agility Jumpers titles.  In 2008 he was also awarded a Versatility Gold Award by the STCA.
He was a Regional Best Puppy in Sweepstakes and also won an Award of Merit and the President’s Award Class at the 2006 STCA Nationals. More impressive has been his reproducing ability, having also produced the 2007 STCA National Best Puppy in Sweepstakes, who is also a  2008 STCA Regional Award of Merit winner and his offspring have been excelling in the working rings as well (one of his sons achieved the Agility Excellent title before the age of 2).
Joey is fully health tested: OFA Hips, Elbows, Patella, Cardiac and CERF.  He is also Ataxia Clear and DNA profiled. 

Gem has been shown on a limit basis with some nice results. She has an amazingly sound temperament and a great personality and “happy go-lucky” attitude that makes her a true joy to be around.  We were very pleased with the results of her first litter,  her offspring have been excellent companions and in the conformation ring  they got some nice wins.
Gem is also fully health tested. She has a HD-A hip reading (OFA Hips Excellent), is OFA Cardiac Clear (by a cardiologist, through an Echocardiogram), her elbows are normal (ED-0) and is also Ataxia Clear. She also passed the TT successfully and is DNA profiled.

We are excited about the outcome of this combination and expect puppies at the end of January,  that will do very well as show and working dogs and most importantly, as loving companions.
