Lexus is sired by the great producer Ch. Serenade's Storm Warning "Dexter" and out of our own impressive producer Ch DeJays Rhythm is Gonna Get You "Mercedes" (tied for ESSFTA Show Dam in 2002)
Lexus was
Show Springer and Show Bitch of the Year 2003, runner-up Show bitch 2004 and in 2005 she earned Show Bitch with only 6 months of showing. She is a Best in Show winner, multiple specialty winner (also as a veteran) and placed in the group at Westminster in 2004.  
Lexus retired from the show ring to raise a litter sired by Phantom.  A couple of those pups have had success in the show ring. Her daughter "Carrie" is pictured with her at the right, where Carrie and Lexus won BISwps and Lexus won BIVS.  She is being bred to Ch Tiffany's Esspecial Imagery ("Stanley") with pups due the end of March 2008. Lexus is OFA Good and eye clear.  

Full littermate to Julia is Bad Sarah. So named for her naughtiness, Bad Sarah was finished by Katie Shepard.  She was born July 16th, 2004 and is OFA Good and eye clear.
Fall of 2007 she was bred to "good boy BJ" and produced our 'Pirates of the Jersey Shore' litter. A couple of those pups are seen on our puppies page.

Julia is sired by the great producer Ch. Tiffany's You've Been Warned "Adam" and out of our own impressive producer Ch Windcrest Y' Breakin' My Heart "Cecelia". She is OFA fair and eye clear.
Julia was ranked in the top 10 bitches
with only 6 months of showing in 2007. She has multiple group placements to her name.
She also has several specialty BOS and won the Greater Pittsburgh ESSC show in 2007 over impressive competition.  She was campaigned in 2008.

Our black and white "Adam" daughter Tess finished quickly. Her sire is Ch Tiffany's You've Been Warned out of Ch Kohinoor Boom-Tada-Boom, and is OFA Good and eye normal.

Ceclia came to use from Dawn Barker in the San Diego area and has been a great producer, giving us 4 champions from her 3 litters so far. She is retired from the whelping box, and enjoys the couch a lot.
Celia is OFA fair and eye normal.
Cecelia finished with 4 majors, and cracks us up with her cute bubbly personality.
She is the dam of Tristan, Bad Sarah and beautiful Julia.

Mercedes was a showing machine in her day.  John went into the ring and put her majors on her. She went on to have a great career as a juniors dog with Cassidy Powers. When she retired to the whelping box, she also excelled there. 3 champions finished from her 1st litter, 1 from the second and 1 from her 3rd and last litter, tying her for parent club Show Dam in 2002. Now 12, she enjoys time on couch, and playing with her great grandkids.

"Cool was sired by Ch. Ridgewyn Heir for Windcrest (Robin) out of Ch Minstrel's Unanimous Alice (Alice). She is OFA Fair and eye clear.
Cool was never used for breeding. She has a littermate affected with epilepsy, and we were too worried that she might carry the gene for that disease.
Cool had a brief specials career, where she won several specialty awards of merit, a national AOM, and a Group 1.  She then had a grand junior showmanship career with Cassidy Powers, going with her to the Garden.
Known as "Princess Cuckool" she resides over the lesser creatures of the housefold from her throne on the couch.

Louise was sired by Ch Minstrel's Chunk O' Chocolate CD (Hershey) out of John's Mercedes, Ch DeJays Rhythm is Gonna Get You.  Hershey was Libby's all time favorite dog, and Mercedes was the only breedable female John had at the time that we merged our lives.  That first litter had 3 champions, one of whom was Louise.
Louise was bred twice, once to Ch Twin Oaks Firestorm and once to Can Ch Serenade's Jersey Devil.
Her hips did not pass OFA but she had absolutely everything we wanted from a Springer, so we took a chance and bred her anyway. Her offspring have not so far been adversely affected. Louise lives on Long Island and is quite the pampered girl now that she's retired.

Carrie has blossomed from a Breee-winning puppy into a lovely bitch. Katie started seriously showing her late 2009 and amassed a large batch of rosettes.
She will be seriously campaigned in 2010.
Carries dam is Lexus and her sire is Phantom. She is her mother, only 'prettied up' a little, so we have very high hopes for her
