Let's start with our very first Calabria litter. Our Calie was bred to Cruiser (AKC/ASCA Ch. McMatt's EZ Going). Calie was the best whelper to date. The puppies just zipped right out. The breeding produced four wonderful puppies. Tony, Guido, Shelly and Louie. Tony and Guido stayed with us in Texas. Shelly and Louie are below.
(aka Shelly)
Shelly came to this world from Calie's first litter. She moved to Louisiana to stay with our friends at BayouLand Aussies. They have taken Shelly to great heights. Shelly was the first, out of Calie's litter, to get both her AKC and ASCA Champion titles.
After four years at Bayouland, Shelly has gone International. She has moved to Denmark to stay at Painted Magic. Congratulations, Anne-Lotte Prøhl, on your new family member. We hope to see Shelly shine as both a mother and competitor.
Louie is the fourth pup out of Calie's first litter.. Louie was so full of energy as a pup and gave Tony and Guido a run for their money. Louie made the longest trip out of the four puppies and went to Kentucky. He now lives with our friend, Sherry, where he's working on an Obedience title and maybe Agility. Go, Louie, Go.
Litter #2

For our second litter we decided to let Mystie give it a shot. Mystie was bred to Dually. Mystie turned out to be a great mom. The breeding produced three fun puppies (all blue merles). Scout, Billy and Gracie. We didn't keep anyone from this litter since we wanted to keep a black. Scout and Gracie are shown below. I don't have a current picture of Billy (hint hint).
The first dog out of Mystie's first litter, Scout headed to the Conformation ring and lucky for us, he lives right here in Texas. We get to watch him progress and help out where we can. Scout live with our friends, the Harding family. The picture shows Scout (right) and his best friend, Rascal. They were heroes in March, 2007 when the Hardings were on a camping trip. It had rained earlier in the evening and the campground was on a flood plain. Scout and Rascal knew something was up and they barked to wake the family. Everyone barely got out safely but the same can't be said for their car or the camping equipment. Scout and Rascal should get a medal. Thank you, Keely.
Scout now has his own picture page. CLICK HERE
Gracie wins the award for the longest trip to a new family. Bill and Donna Koehn made that possible and Gracie hopped a flight to Wisconsin. As you can see by the photo, Gracie is Daddy's Girl. She has started her Agility career and from the reports we've gotten, she is doing great. She competes in CPE, ASCA and AKC agility. I've added a few pictures of Gracie in action.
Thank you, Bill and Donna.
